Jeffress remarked, “It was a tremendous outpouring of the Holy Spirit of God I believe every Christian and church will be re-energized in sharing the Gospel of Christ with as many people as possible.” Graham stated, “I am hoping this is a catalyst – not just in the DFW Metroplex, but for churches across the country to rally in a renewed commitment to evangelism.” Local Baptist pastors provided leadership for the effort including Jack Graham of Prestonwood Baptist Church, Robert Jeffress of First Baptist Dallas, Tony Evans of Fellowship Bible Church, and Matt Chandler of The Village. "This is what 6000 plus people coming to Christ looks like," Laurie posted to his Facebook page after the crusade at AT&T Stadium. Laurie’s crusades, which started in 1993, have registered over 450,600 people making faith decisions. The crusade took 3,400 volunteer counselors, 1,500 ushers, and 350 individuals manning the prayer room. Special Christian music artists included Chris Tomlin and MercyMe. The huge gathering was blessed by the music of a 2,500-voice choir composed of local church members. Many of the organizers hope this will be the spark that will ignite the fires of revival in America. More than 6,000 of those gathered responded to the evangelist’s appeal to make a faith commitment to Christ. More than 750 local churches cooperated to bring Harvest America to Texas. Hundreds of thousands more across the nation tuned into the Crusade via radio, television, Internet streaming, or remote broadcast at over 7,200 host locations in 123 counties. On Sunday, March 7, AT&T Stadium, the home of the Dallas Cowboy’s National Football League team, was filled with 82,000 individuals to hear the message of hope presented by Laurie.
