Franklin Graham Festival Breaks Records in Ecuador with 16,177 Responding to Invitation to Put Their Faith in Jesus Christ
"...we are humbled to just be a part of the impact He had on this city— it was more than we could have imagined."
(Ecuador)—The Christian Post reports that evangelist Franklin Graham made history this past weekend by attracting a crowd of 185,674 people to the Festival of Hope—the largest evangelical event in Ecuador's history. According to the ministry's report, by the final night, some 16,177 people responded to the invitation to put their faith in Jesus Christ.
"Each time we go to a different city we have no idea how many people will come, if the weather will be a problem, or how many lives will be changed," said Graham. "But God knows and we are humbled to just be a part of the impact He had on this city—it was more than we could have imagined."
Samaritan's Purse—a Christian relief organization headed by Graham is reportedly feeding 1,500 Ecuadorian children a day and has provided medical care for more than 50,000 people.
