“Now is the time to unite so that we may boldly proclaim the mystery of the Gospel.” This was the core message Victor Hamm, vice president of Crusades at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), shared with over 350 pastors and church leaders gathered at Westminster, London for the 2025 God Loves You Tour launch.

The room was filled with an excited buzz as believers united as one in worship and prayer, whilst receiving encouragement to boldly proclaim the Gospel in their city.

Several pastors who have previously partnered with the ministry urged those in attendance to get involved with many preparatory events taking place in the lead up to June 2025; when Franklin Graham will return to London to share the same Gospel message with many at ExCeL London.

“We can’t win this country back to Jesus on our own… We are all needed!” said Wes Richards, pastor of King’s Church International. His church filled six of the free coaches provided by the BGEA last year to help transport people to the 2023 event in London.

Lloyd, a pastor from Be Church in East London, also shared his excitement for the upcoming outreach in June. “What I love is that every event I’ve been involved with in the past has been top quality,” he said, referring to his church’s involvement in the 2022 and 2023 God Loves You Tour events where he has able to witness thousands of people make a decision for Christ.

Lucy Edwards—associate pastor at Swindon’s City Faith International—recounted how it was a Billy Graham rally broadcast that led her to dedicate her life to Christ in 1989. Now, Lucy is excited to partner with BGEA in sharing the hope that she has received in Christ.

She shared her enthusiasm for filling a bus with people to bring to the event, as well as getting young people at her church to attend one of the Pursuit of Worship youth sessions.

“You hear a lot that the church is in decline and the church is dead. But when you see a room full of pastors and leaders that are passionate about the Gospel and reaching their cities… it’s really encouraging,” Lucy shared.

The God Loves You Tour will be taking place in London in June of 2025. Find out more here.
