It was a record-breaking night as we closed out the 20th Southern California Harvest!

A total of 50,000 people came out on Sunday, the largest crowd we’ve had at Angel Stadium since it was converted from football to baseball-only. Approximately 500 people were turned away when the gates were locked, though some were able to get in later.

The Katinas and Crystal Lewis opened the evening, and Chris Tomlin kicked things into a new gear with his worship music. Pastor Greg spoke on the topic of “Down-to-Earth Talk About Heaven.”

When the gospel invitation was given, 4,583 responded and came down to the field to make a profession of faith. What a tremendous response to the Good News of Jesus Christ!

To celebrate those new believers, and 20 years of Harvest Crusades, Chris Tomlin came back out for another set of worship, accompanied by a fireworks show!

Over the entire weekend, 126,000 people attended the Southern California Harvest, and 11,969 people came forward and either prayed to receive Christ or made a recommitment. We give God all the glory for what happened this weekend, and praise Him for what He has done in Southern California over the last 20 years through Harvest Crusades.
