Festival of Hope

We went to the Festival of Hope in Chile where Franklin Graham was the main speaker. There were 20,000 attendees the first night and 45,000 the next night. The interesting thing was that Franklin 's message was very short and simple - the Gospel. However, thousands of people were broken and crying over the message they heard those nights. It was clear that the Holy Spirit was moving and the preparation made by the churches through prayer and relationship building were key.

12,000 people surrendered their lives to Jesus!!  4000 were children and Temuco set a record for all the Graham crusades in that 95% of the rest (8000) were youth! This doesn't count the numerous converts before the event. Temuco will prayerfully be a changed city!
