PHOENIX, ARIZ. (June 1, 2017) — Harvest America 2017 is set to fill the 75,000-plus seat University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona (home of the NFL's Arizona Cardinals) on Sunday, June 11th, and faith-and-family television leader Trinity Broadcasting Network will be on hand to bring the inspirational and life-changing event to millions of viewers across America and around the world with a live broadcast beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
Designed to offer a message of hope to individuals, families, and communities throughout the U.S., Harvest America 2017 will feature a timely and personal message from popular pastor, author, and Christian leader Greg Laurie, along with unforgettable music from award-winning artists including NEEDTOBREATHE, MercyMe, Trip Lee, and Phil Wickham.
Called the “evangelist of the future” by America's pastor, Dr. Billy Graham, Greg Laurie is the founding pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, one of the largest and most vibrant congregations in America. Over his many decades of ministry, he has built a solid reputation for presenting God's message of hope and grace in a dynamic and culturally relevant way, offering clear answers to questions every individual has, such as: Why am I here? Is God real? and What happens when I die?
Since 1990 more than 7.6 million people have experienced a Harvest event in person or via live broadcast, with a total of 489,345 of those individuals coming to faith in Christ. Last year's Harvest America event, broadcast by TBN from AT&T Stadium in Dallas, was considered one of the largest one-day live evangelistic outreaches in history. Harvest America Executive Director John Collins said that through constantly expanding broadcast technology, Harvest America 2017 from Phoenix Stadium is expected to eclipse last-year's outreach.
“More than ever, people across the country — and around the world — are in need of hope, and that hope can only be found through the life-changing message of the gospel of Jesus Christ,” said Collins. “The constant growth and expansion of broadcast media and technology will allow Harvest America 2017 to reach new audiences, and we're excited about the eternal impact that could make.”
“We are excited to bring every moment of the live broadcast of Harvest America 2017 to viewers across America and the world,” said TBN Chairman Matt Crouch. “Pastor Greg has a powerful and relevant message that will touch the countless individuals and families everywhere who are looking for hope and peace in a troubled world. This is an event you won't want to miss!”
Join hosts Matt and Laurie Crouch from University of Phoenix Stadium as they welcome Greg and Cathe Laurie for a two-night live preview of Harvest America 2017, Friday and Saturday, June 8th and 9th, at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT, exclusively on TBN.
