“We are returning to Pirates Cove, the same beach that witnessed the powerful baptisms of thousands of believers during the Jesus Revolution,” the website for Laurie’s church, Harvest Christian Fellowship, explains. “This iconic location holds a special place in our hearts and our history, making it the perfect setting for our next church-wide baptism event!”
The beach was also featured in the box-office hit Jesus Revolution, which recounts how the spiritual awakening began.
“This is where I was baptized 50 years ago. This is where my wife Cathe was baptized. This is where thousands of other people were baptized as well, and you saw it in the ‘Jesus Revolution’ film,” Laurie said in a video posted last week.
“Guess what? We’re doing a ‘Jesus Revolution’ baptism right here at Pirates Cove on July 9!” he added.
According to CBN News, Laurie will host a Harvest Crusade on July 1-2 at the Honda Center, a week before the baptisms.
“God wants to pour His Spirit out. God wants to save people,” he told CBN News. “Scripture says that God believes that no one should perish but that all should come to repentance. This is God’s heart – to reach this culture and this generation. There are differences between the late 1960s and today, but there are also many similarities.”
Earlier this month, over 4,000 people were baptized in Pirates Cove as part of the 50th anniversary of the Jesus Movement.
