A number of Christian music artists from Lecrae, Jeremy Camp and “American Idol” winner Jordin Sparks as set to perform at the 28th annual SoCal Harvest revival crusade.
The crusade which is hosted by popular California evangelist Greg Laurie will happen this weekend in Anaheim.
Tens of thousands of people are gearing up to attend SoCal Harvest 2017 at Angel Stadium from this Friday August 18 till Sunday August 20th.
The event which is free to attend will not only feature performances from world-renowned Christian artists but also Gospel messages from the host who is an author and the senior pastor of the multi-campus Harvest Christian Fellowship.
At the end of Laurie’s message each of the three nights, audience members will be asked to come to the field and make a commitment to Christ. Laurie explained further about the event;
“The objective is not to blow the non-believer out of the water with your brilliant knowledge of Scripture.
The objective is to bring them to Jesus. Having said that, Christians think, ‘Oh, I’ll just be a good example.
Well, that’s great and we should all be examples but Jesus did not say, ‘Go into all the world and be a good example.’
He said, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Gospel.’”
At Socal Harvest 2016, 11,994 decisions were made for Christ with a combined in-person and online attendance of over 160,000.
On Friday night, there will be performances from Christian folktronica musician Crowder, Christian hip-hop artist Andy Mineo and contemporary Christian rock artist Phil Wickham.
Saturday night’s performers will be popular Christian hip-hop artist Lecrae, Wickham and Camp, a popular contemporary Christian singer/songwriter.
According to Laurie, Sunday night will be more unique in that it will feature artists who performed on primetime talent contest television shows.
Sunday night will also feature a fireworks display. The event will run from 7 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. each of the three nights.
Additionally, the event will be livestreamed on the Harvest Facebook page. The event will also be screened at churches and hosting locations across the nation.
