Franklin Graham preached the Gospel this weekend at the world’s southernmost city, and hundreds of souls placed their faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior.
The “Esperanza Ushuaia” outreach was held at the José “Cochocho” Vargas Stadium in Ushuaia, Argentina. That location is known as the “city at the end of the world” because it’s about 650 miles from the tip of Antarctica.
The city is known to have the highest suicide rate in Argentina, so the primary theme of the event was hope, which is what “esperanza” means in English. The American evangelist began his appeal by asking the thousands in attendance, “Are you running out of hope?”

“In the same way, there’s nothing you can do to get rid of your sins. You cannot save yourself. Will you come to Christ tonight?” he asked the audience.
