300 Respond to Altar Call, Surrendering to Christ in Powerful Church Service
Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship is encouraging fellow pastors to make it a habit to share the Gospel message and invite people to accept Christ as their Savior after every message they preach.
Laurie made that appeal after more than 300 people responded to a “brief” gospel invitation last week at his Riverside, California church campus.
In a video posted to social media, the pastor and evangelist wrote “God is moving!”
Laurie shared in the post that “people are searching” and are “hungry for truth.”
The Power of the Gospel—People Are Hungry for Truth

I have to tell you—God is moving!
At the end of my message last Sunday, “The Man Who Needed a Second Chance,” I shared a brief Gospel invitation. Almost 300 people responded!

“In this video from Harvest OC—just a quick clip I shot on my phone—you can see people coming forward at our Riverside campus on the screen, and at OC, stepping out in faith to publicly declare their decision to follow Christ. It’s absolutely incredible,” he wrote.
“Now, a quick word to pastors—consider this: at the end of your message, why not take a moment to share the Gospel and invite people to come to Christ? The harvest is there—but we have to invite them in,” Laurie continued. “And to everyone else—people are searching. They are hungry for truth. They just need someone like you to start the conversation, to point them to Jesus.”
He added, “The Bible says, ‘How will they hear unless someone tells them?’ (Rom. 10:14). The answer? They won’t. So let’s step up, speak up, and share the Gospel—because when we do, lives are changed for eternity!”
Laurie founded Harvest Christian Fellowship in 1973 and now oversees its four campuses in California and Hawaii.
He recently preached a message titled, “The Man Who Needed a Second Chance,” at the Riverside campus which prompted those 300 people to respond to the Gospel.
Laurie also shared the same message at the brand-new Harvest Campus in Maui.
