A mission in the tradition of Billy Graham, with his grandson Will Graham preaching, took place in the Falkirk Stadium during June.
Central Scotland Will Graham Celebration of Hope was advertised as ‘not just an evangelistic event; it is a process of prayer, training, outreach, and follow-up that takes place over a 12-month period – and it begins and ends with the local church’. Around 9,500 people attended over the weekend, with 31,000 watching on mobile devices from 87 countries across the world. 65% of the spiritual responses to the event came from those under the age of 35. Will Graham preached with clarity and conviction: about the prodigal son; time; and the thief on the cross at the finale on Sunday.
Growing in Christ
Those who came forward were given a Living in Christ booklet including a Bible study on the Gospel of John. Those with no connection to a church were allocated to participating churches in their own area and are being encouraged to attend Growing in Christ courses.
