GREG LAURIE MINISTRIES

Here's a Trick to watch videos

Pastor Laurie of Greg Laurie Ministries is gifted by God with the ability to apply biblical principles to current events in a way that is relevant and easily understood by people of all ages, from all walks of life.

The trademark of a Greg Laurie sermon, book, or broadcast is his contemporary, yet straightforward style and format.

Born December 10, 1952 He serves as the senior pastor of the Harvest Christian Fellowship, a Calvary Chapel, in Riverside, California.

He became a Christian under the ministry of Pentecostal evangelist Lonnie Frisbee at Newport Harbor High School. Then, at the age of 19, he had the opportunity to lead a Bible-study of 30 people originally started by Frisbee at All Saints Episcopal Church in Riverside, CA.

The church of Greg Laurie Ministries that formed from this group has grown to become one of the largest churches in the United States.

Laurie holds two honorary doctorates (from Biola University and Azusa Pacific University), although his formal education ceased at high school. He serves on the boards of directors for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and for Samaritan's Purse.

Laurie has written several books, including The Upside-Down Church (1999, co-authored with David Kopp: the book won a Gold Medallion Book Award in the "Christian ministry' category in 2000), Every Day with Jesus (1993), and Wrestling with God (2003).

Most recently he has published Loser and Winners, Saints and Sinners: how to finish strong in the spiritual race. He also worked as a contributing author of study notes for the New Believer’s Bible and The Seeker’s Bible: New Testament : New Living Translation (Wheaton, Illinois: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 2000, ISBN 0842339280).

Host of the television program Knowing God with Greg Laurie and of the syndicated radio program A New Beginning, Laurie has appeared on ABC World News Tonight, Fox News, MSNBC, and CNN. He also functions as a guest commentator at Worldnetdaily.com, and appears regularly on the Trinity Broadcasting Network.

Pastor Greg Laurie also founded (1990) and features as a speaker for public evangelistic events called Harvest Crusades — large-scale evangelistic outreach projects which local churches organize nationally and internationally.

Well over three million people have attended Harvest Crusades in California, Seattle, Oregon, Philadelphia, New York, Hawaii, Florida, North Carolina, New Zealand and Australia.

Greg Laurie Ministries is located in Newport Beach, California. Laurie with his wife, Catherine have two sons: Christopher (1975-2008) and Jonathan (1986); and granddaughter Stella (2006).

July 24, 2008, Christopher Laurie, 33, was killed (taken to heaven) when his vehicle crashed into the back of a Caltrans truck on the eastbound 91 Freeway near Serfas Club Drive in Corona, Calif. He was on his way to Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside.

Lost Boy: My Story

As a hippie and drug user who


had grown-up in a dysfunctional family, Greg Laurie knew what it was to be lost. A seventeen-year-old, long-haired Greg soon discovered his passion for seeing people rescued from hopelessness and transformed into renewed beings with a saving faith in Christ.

Laurie quickly became a wonder and an example as to how God could use someone with a sordid past to impact the world with the gospel.

Throughout Greg’s autobiography, be encouraged by the trials he overcame and the far-reaching impact these lessons have had. The Lord’s influence in Greg’s life has been thoroughly evidenced by the fruit seen from the ministries Greg has planted, watered and grown.
