WATCH: Thousands come forward for Jesus Revolution baptism
Over 4,000 people have been baptised at the same ocean cove that became a focal point for the Jesus Movement in the 1960s and 70s. Interest in Pirates Cove has risen as a result of the popular Jesus Revolution film, which tells the true story of how thousands of hippies came to Christ. Pastor Greg Laurie called the event a “baptism of biblical proportions”. Here are some of the best photos and videos from the event, which took place on Saturday, and was attended by a reported 20,000 people
