Watch Live

Despite some resistance to his visit, Franklin Graham heads to Blackpool, this weekend to boldly share the Good News

News headlines about the Festival of Hope starting tonight in Blackpool, England, have highlighted the city’s opposition to Franklin Graham and the Gospel message.

No matter the hostility, though, local churches remain hopeful that God will move greatly during the evangelistic event.

“My message will be the simple Gospel message: a timeless message of God’s hope, love and redemption for all people,” Franklin Graham said ahead of the Festival planned for Sept. 21-23. “Regardless of the hostility, I plan to preach the Word of God in Blackpool.”

During his 1982 visit to Blackpool, Billy Graham introduced countless people to the Gospel and left a legacy that his son, Franklin Graham, will carry on Sept. 21-23.
