Greg Laurie Reveals Powerful Message From Billy Graham, Next Gen’s Stunning Hunger for the Gospel

Pastor Greg Laurie has helped lead tens of thousands of people to the ********** ******, calling his decades in ministry a true “privilege.”

“I can’t believe that **** allowed me to do this and to be doing it for 35 years,” Laurie recently told CBN News. “[When] we started these Harvest Crusade [events], never did we think we would be doing them 35 years later, but we are, and they’re going strong, and it’s a whole new generation.”

With so much chaos unfolding in culture, the preacher said he believes recent positive reactions to the ********** ****** show there’s a “spiritual hunger” among Generation Z and Millennials.

“They’re searching,” Laurie said. “They’re looking for answers, and I find myself in these crusades being simpler than I’ve ever been. I just feel my job is to make this information accessible and understandable.”

He continued, “It is my belief that most Americans have never [encountered an] accurate, understandable presentation of the Gospel. They’ve heard the word ‘Gospel.’ They’ve heard variations of Gospel preaching, but have they actually just heard the simple Gospel message presented in a way that they can comprehend?”

):

Laurie said he believes this simple message is one found at the heart of the biblical narrative.

“The power of our message is in the ****** [and] resurrection of ****** *******,” he said.

Laurie recalled a dinner he had years ago with the late evangelist the Rev. Billy Graham. During the conversation, Laurie asked what Graham would say to a younger Billy Graham, if given a chance.

“Billy said, ‘I would preach more on the cross of ******* and the blood — that’s where the power is,’” Laurie recalled. “So, now, at this point [in] ministry, I find that I’m really simplifying my message.”

With the preacher focusing his attention on helping people make a decision to follow ****** — and then build upon that relationship — the results are truly compelling.

At Laurie’s most recent Harvest Crusade held July 20 at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, he saw 50,000 people show up in person.

“The ***** marshal literally shut the doors and there were people outside … worshiping,” Laurie said.

Ultimately, 3,500 people made a decision to follow ****** during the live, in-person event, with 1,500 more making the same decision while tuning in online.

Then, one week later, Laurie saw 2,000 people show up to get baptized during a separate baptism event. That baptism follows last year’s first ****** Revolution baptism, which saw 4,500 people be immersed.

“In a 12-month span … we have baptized 6,500 people,” Laurie said. “And, so, to me, that’s just remarkable.”
