The program offers viewers a look into Laurie’s compelling life story: from his childhood, raised by an alcoholic mother who was married and divorced seven times, to his decision to follow Jesus Christ on his high school campus, to his expansive 30-year public ministry, and finally, to the heartbreak of his eldest son’s unexpected death in 2008.
Lost Boy: The Next Chapter has won the Best Documentary or Audience Favorite award at eight international film festivals. Greg Laurie stated, “Lost Boy is a story of redemption, a story of how God can turn things around if you let Him and I hope my story will inspire people to do that.”
The Daystar Television Network has emerged as the fastest growing and one of the largest Christian television networks in the world. Daystar operates over 70 television stations in major markets across the United States, and has a potential audience of over 100 million households in the U.S. alone. Within the film, Daystar will feature a four and a half minute spot outlining the new Harvest America initiative (harvestamerica.com), an opportunity for churches, groups and individuals to join Laurie in proclaiming the gospel live across the nation this August 26.
Greg Laurie is the Senior Pastor at Harvest Christian Fellowship, one of the largest churches in the U.S., with campuses in Riverside and Irvine, California. Laurie is the founder and featured speaker for Harvest Crusades, evangelistic outreach events that have drawn four million people to stadiums and arenas around the world since 1990. Laurie serves on the boards of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse.
