Revival In UK! Thousand Responds To Jesus At Franklin Graham London Crusade
-Franklin Graham London Crusade – Thousands Say Yes To The Call Of Jesus Christ
Revival is still happening in the United Kingdom, as thousands responded to the call of Jesus at Evangelist Franklin Graham London crusade.
The evangelist who returned for his God Loves You Tour, shared a message of God’s love at a free event at the ExCel London on Saturday night.
The veteran preacher was also joined on stage by Christian artists CeCe Winans, Michael W. Smith and the Newsboys, who performed at the event.
Nearly 1,000 area churches partnered with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, the sponsor.
“A lot of people are here tonight that have been searching and looking and trying to find meaning and purpose to what their life is all about,” Graham said Saturday night.
“But I’m here to say to you tonight, ‘God loves you. He loves you.’ He sent His Son from heaven to this earth to take your sins, He died and shed His blood on a cross for your sins. And on the third day, God raised his Son, Jesus Christ to life.”
Graham had previously experienced resistance from LGBT activist groups and venue hosts in the U.K., who wanted to shut down the events over his views on homosexuality and Islam.
“We are excited to return to London again this year and to have an opportunity to preach the Gospel in Glasgow,” said Graham in a statement.
“We are grateful for the thousands of Christians and hundreds of churches that have stood alongside us in recent years and continued praying for this tour to come to their cities.”
Graham’s next stop on the tour is in Glasgow on June 22 of next year.
