Greg Laurie is the senior pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship, which has campuses in California and Hawaii.

Since then, God has transformed that small group into a church of some 15,000 people, making it one of the largest churches in America. Laurie is also the featured speaker of Harvest Ministries' nationally syndicated radio program, A New Beginning, host of the TV program Harvest: Greg Laurie, speaker at the international Harvest Crusades, and author of more than seventy books. He and his wife, Cathe, live in Southern California.
