Greg Laurie is an evangelist, best-selling author, pastor and the founder of the Harvest churches in Southern California and Hawaii. Laurie began his pastoral ministry at age 19 by leading a Bible study for 30 people. Since then, God has transformed that small group into a church of approximately 15,000. In 1990, Laurie began holding large-scale public evangelistic events called Harvest Crusades. Since that time, nearly 10 million people have participated in Harvest Crusades in person or online throughout the United States. Laurie is the featured speaker on the nationally syndicated radio program, A New Beginning, which is broadcast on more than 1,100 radio outlets around the world. He also has a weekly television program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. In addition to speaking and assisting other ministries, Pastor Laurie has authored more than 70 books, including Billy Graham: The Man I Knew, Johnny Cash: The Redemption of an American Icon, Jesus Revolution, Tell Someone, and his autobiography, Lost Boy. Greg has been married to Cathe for more than 40 years, and they have two sons and five grandchildren.
