At least 100,000 people gathered at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for Harvest America 2016 on Sunday evening, according to Pastor Greg Laurie, and thousands of them responded to the California pastor’s invitation to pray to accept Jesus into their lives. “I know a few things about you,” Laurie, senior pastor of the Harvest Christian Fellowship megachurch in California, told the cheering crowd in his message titled, “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly,” which was also livestreamed to thousands of host locations across the country .
You’re empty, you’re lonely, you feel guilty and you fear death, the pastor told the gathering, which according to The Dallas Morning News was “the largest evangelical outreach in North Texas since Billy Graham drew 255,000 people to Texas Stadium.” The Rev. Franklin Graham, who heads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, tweeted before the event, “Near Arlington, TX tomorrow? Take your friends & anyone who needs a relationship with Jesus Christ to #HarvestAmerica with @GregLaurie.” READ MORE
The idea that thousands got saved is not really true .Billy Graham use to claim this too .Yet in follow up of the folks who claim to get saved little evidence was shown .Instead of spending all this money on these events ,more can be reached by taking gospel tract to the street .They walk away with the gospel message in hand ,where God can give the increase .
