AUSTRALIA

More than 25,000 people from the Hunter region of Australia (15% of the population) attended the recent Harvest ’05 crusade. Nearly 2,500 volunteers from 200 churches participated in the event, which resulted in more than 2,000 people giving their lives to Christ. The crusade was accompanied by two Harvest Jam Youth programs, featuring Christian artist Rebecca St. James and Christian bands Delirious and Planetshakers. Of the 10,400 young people attending the youth events, more than 1,000 gave their lives to the Lord. (Religionjournal.com)
