Greg Laurie, priest of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California is inviting people to use worship as a way to end their stress and to pray god to end the coronavirus pandemic.
He also posted on social media that the church is getting 50% more people worshipping online in comparison to the last week.
Laurie captioned on Instagram:
Also, the number of people worshipping Christ keeps growing.
“Best of all, we had 3,188 people make professions of faith to follow Jesus Christ. If you combine that with last week’s webcast, that means we have had 5,000 people give their lives to Jesus Christ,” Laurie said.
As the cases of COVID-19 are increasing, Harvest Christian Fellowship Church is showing attention and support for people by giving them the opportunity to test COVID-19 by the drive-through.
The church also posted in a Facebook post, “Harvest is pleased to have been chosen as one of the drive-thru testing spots for COVID-19 testing. We want to be as helpful as we can during this difficult season and this opportunity is allowing us to do that.”
