Harvest Crusades is an Evangelical Christian organization based in Los Angeles, United States, that organizes evangelistic conferences.

History

[edit]

The conference has its origins in a public evangelistic event in Los Angeles founded in 1990, by the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, Greg Laurie.[1] The event has been renamed Harvest Crusades. [2]

In 2005, 100,000 people attended at the conference. [3]

Harvest Crusades shifted to an online-only format in 2020 in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.[4]

In 2022, 21,000 people attended at the conference in Boise, Idaho and 144,000 people online.[5]
