NYC Impact
November 5th, 2008 Posted in Harvest Crusades, NYC08Here is a great letter from our recent New York City Harvest:
I am a believer who listens to “A New Beginning” each day. I bought a block of ten tickets and just invited people – all but one was able to make it that night.
I had a burden on my heart for a young woman who is a prodigal right now and with whose family I am very close. It was not until the day of the event that she agreed to attend and when the first altar call came, she was bawling I asked her if she wanted to go down and she shook her head furiously, “No!” Then, when Pastor Greg said that he was among the last to respond to the altar call the day he got saved, I looked at my young lady again and offered to go down with her and she agreed. Her mother who also attended wept with joy and relief, as did I.
I pray that she will commit herself once more to the life she once lived in Christ and that the chains she is presently in will be broken in the name of Christ Jesus.
My husband rededicated his life at a mini Harvest Crusade in NYC in 2000.
God bless Greg Laurie and his family for all they do for the Kingdom. I pray abundant blessings to the ministry and everyone involved in it. May our Lord and Savior continue to uphold you all to continue this incredible work.

To God be the glory!
Letter’s like this keep my spirits up. Sometimes everything seems so hopeless and you wonder if that certain person in your life will ever see the truth. You tell yourself that if you can change for the better then anyone can. At least, that’s what I tell myself everyday. Some people don’t like to remember what they used to be. I use it as a reminder that I’m still growing and I will continue to improve. Because then has nothing to do with now.
It makes me happy when people come forward. It gives me hope for the people in my life. Yes, I will not become disheartened. Shoot, if we don’t pray for these people who will? Hahahaha, I’m joking. Man, today is going to be a great day.
When I hear these stories, it is worth all the effort… from Pastor Greg and family, Crusade directors, Administration, ushers, follow-up counselors, to the people who show up for prayer meetings!
Every dollar and minute spent, is worth it for the outcome that God is a God of Restoration!
I agree, to God be the Glory!
