'Amazing' mass baptism event: 'Never too late' to believe in God, says pastor Greg Laurie

Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship recently baptized 4,500 people at Pirate's Cove Beach in Corona Del Mar, California — the site of the "Jesus Movement" baptisms in the 1960s.

The mass baptism in Southern California this past weekend drew over 20,000 people from all over the globe, according to Harvest Christian Fellowship — with "thousands," the group told Fox News Digital, standing patiently in a long line "for hours" in order to be baptized.

Laurie's personal mission is "to know God and make him known," as he has said many times.

Millions have learned of his own personal faith awakening through the "Jesus Revolution" film — which is based on his life experiences during the 1960s and '70s. 

Fox News Digital posed three key questions to Pastor Laurie about the mass baptism, including why he believes so many people are hurting in America — and what they're in search of today.
