Franklin Graham UK tour prompts support – and caveats

American missionary Franklin Graham, son of renowned evangelist Billy Graham, is bringing his evangelistic tour to the ExCel venue London this June – despite recently provoking concern among some UK evangelicals.

The event comes as part of Graham’s God Loves You Tour, which aims to partner with local churches to share “the simple message of God’s love”. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) are hoping to draw thousands to the venue, as they did when it was last held there in 2023.

“London is an extremely influential and important city, and every time I’m here it feels like we’re barely scratching the surface. This is why we are bringing the God Loves You Tour back to London for a third time. There is such a need and hunger for the gospel in this global city,” Graham stated.
