Franklin Graham preached the gospel to 90,000 people in Lima, Peru, over the weekend, and thousands made commitments to give their lives to Jesus Christ as a result.

The historic “Esperanza Lima” outreach was held in the country’s National Stadium, which the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) reports was “packed from wall to wall” for two nights straight on Saturday and Sunday. 

The hunger for God was so strong that thousands of people who couldn’t get inside still lined the streets outside to hear Rev. Graham share the hope-filled message of the Gospel.

BGEA deployed 600 free buses each night to help people with limited means get to the stadium. The ministry partnered with more than 2,400 churches in Lima to conduct the massive outreach effort. 

The event featured award-winning Christian music artists Charity Gayle, The Afters, Christine D’Clario, and the Jahaziel Band. And Rev. Graham preached a clear gospel message, declaring, “I’ve come for a reason, and that is to share truth. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life.’ And I want you to know tonight that you can have a new life through Jesus Christ, God’s Son.”
