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.
