Greg Laurie Brings Hope Crusade to Utah Campus
Faith Facts
- Greg Laurie will lead a Harvest Crusade event, “Hope for America,” at Utah Valley University on Nov. 16.
- This gathering comes weeks after conservative Christian leader Charlie Kirk was tragically killed at the same location.
- The event aims to inspire around 10,000 attendees and reaches over 60 local congregations through livestreams.
The “Hope for America” crusade is set to deliver the Gospel message amidst a community wrestling with grief and searching for hope in Jesus. Organizers responded swiftly to local pastors requesting immediate encouragement for the hurting campus and community.
Greg Laurie shared, “We immediately reached out to the Utah pastors to offer our support. We asked if there was anything we could do. They responded, ‘Come sooner. Our community is hurting.’”
TPUSA, while not involved in organizing the crusade, has offered its full support, and many in the faith community see this outreach as vital for restoring hope and faith following tragedy.
“Charlie Kirk embodied that hope. His life and tragic murder have become a wake-up call to Utah, to our nation, and even to the world, especially to young people. Our desire is for them to discover the same hope Charlie had and to follow Jesus Christ,” Laurie added.
Pastor Lucas Miles, senior director at TPUSA Faith, affirmed, “His boldness in bringing the Gospel to hurting communities like Utah Valley University is exactly what America needs right now. It is a clear and unapologetic message of hope, redemption and truth found only in Jesus Christ.”
Let us lift up these faithful efforts in prayer, asking the Lord to use this event to pour out His hope and transforming power upon Utah and our nation.
