The Billy Graham Library’s Hispanic Heritage Celebration Day brought individuals of all ages together to honor the richness of their Hispanic heritage. The day included worship, outdoor and indoor actives, and Journey of Faith tours in Spanish. The tour follows the life and ministry of Billy Graham.
“We want the Hispanic community to get to know the Library, and at the same time celebrate the great Hispanic heritage. This is a time designated specifically to welcome the Hispanic population to the Library," said Chris Swanson, talking about the purpose of the celebration day. Swanson is vice president of Hispanic Initiatives for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Guests also had the opportunity walk through a Spanish version of The Journey of Faith tour. The tour ends with a presentation of the Gospel. Volunteers and chaplains stood by to pray with those whose hearts God touched.
Throughout the whole day, Spanish speaking chaplains were available to pray with those who needed it.
