Signs of a spiritual awakening are still popping up across the U.S. on a weekly basis this summer, and the latest example was a mass baptism at Pirates Cove in Newport Beach, California, where thousands of believers publicly declared their faith in Jesus Christ.
Harvest Christian Fellowship’s Senior Pastor Greg Laurie reports, “We had an incredible day yesterday at the 3rd Annual Jesus Revolution Baptism. We baptized 2,100 people in a single day! Can you believe that? Add that number to the last two years, and in just three years we’ve baptized 8,600 people!”

Laurie, whose personal testimony was featured two years ago in the box office hit “Jesus Revolution,” says some elements of the ongoing revival taking place in America surpass the spiritual awakening of the 1960s and 70s.
“Even during the days of the original Jesus Revolution, we never saw anything quite like this. God is at work, and I believe these are what I would call ‘signs of revival,'” he wrote.

In a follow-up post, the evangelist updated the numbers reporting, “In the past 24 months, we’ve had the privilege of baptizing 10,000 people. Honestly, I could hardly believe it when we put the numbers together—but it’s true!”
Earlier this summer, Laurie held his annual Harvest Crusade, where thousands of people gave their lives to Jesus Christ during the special event held at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.
