What a Weekend!

October 21st, 2008 Posted in NYC08, stella, video

God truly blessed our outreach event in NYC this last weekend. We saw over 13,000 people gather in the historic Madison Square Garden. The place was electric with excitement as we praised the Lord together.

I gave a message called “How To Change for Good” from the the third chapter of the Gospel of John. When the invitation was extended, we saw over 1,380 people respond!

To God be the glory.

Here is a link to a story that will tell you more: ChristianPost.com

The next day we went out and had a little fun, eating hot dogs and walking in Central Park. Here is a short video of Stella and me enjoying NYC.

    Pastor Greg, You have a beautiful family! You are all being lifted up in my prayers. Jesus loves you all. We can do all things with Jesus for greater is He who lives in us than he who is in this world. May you all continue to have the peace and comfort that the Lord has for you. Renee

    Oh boy Greg, is all I can say to those NYC hot dogs! Even Misha and Marty and I have not done that yet but next time FOR SURE! I just watched the Tom Hanks movie ‘BIG’ the other night, and laughed as you and Stella danced on the piano keys at FAO Schwartz’s! What a delight for both of you….. As you know, we love New York and you made us love it even more by leaving your footprints in that big city!
    Love,

    Pastor Greg,

    1,380 celebrations in Heaven!!! AWESOME!!! Keep at it man! God continues to do His perfect work – through the Crusades. That New York hot dog looked ‘ok’ – but come on! Can you ever beat God’s Ultimate creation of a DODGER DOG??!! I’m getting hungry.

    Praise God for celebrations, pianos and hot dogs! My family and I continue to pray that the Lord gives you strength, peace, comfort, wisdom and hope. We love you guys.

    Hi Pastor Greg!!

    Great News you give us from the Harvest in NY, thanks for posting all the videos so we can get the scoop!

    And fun videos from you and Stella and the hot dog that you had! (I’m getting hungry… I wonder why?)

    What a blessing for all of the people who made a decision last Sunday, whether a re-commitment or a decision to follow our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. What a joyfull day!!

    Thanks for sharing everything. I hope that you and your family and the Harvest Crusades crew can get a well deserved rest after all the work that brought all those souls to our Lord’s feet.

    Have a safe return!!

    We’ll keep praying for you guys.

    Saludos from MTY,
    Mariana.

    I see you smile and am thankful to God for Stella, who has the heart of Jesus to bring joy, hope and endless love to your family. I can’t imagine the pain of the loss of your son, husband, brother and daddy. But it is nice to see you smile.

    Continue to be His(God’s) light, for all the lost.

    I smiled a big smile at you and Stella. What a joy she must be to you, Cathe & Brittany. She is the spitting image of Topher. What a wonderful gift God has given you. May God continue to bless you and your entire family.

    I’m kind of running behind, but I truly enjoyed seeing the little cookie dancing on the keyboards!

    I’ve enjoyed the Podcasts of your Anaheim and Philadelphia crusades.

    Greg, please consider a Harvest Crusade in South Florida. This must be one of the biggest mission fields in the USA. We need a messenger of Jesus here!

    God bless the Lauries and your ministry.
