Fort Wayne Celebration Finale Marks New Beginnings for Many
The three-day Greater Fort Wayne Celebration with Will Graham saw much fruit, ending with more than 430 decisions for Christ.
Sunday, Will Graham preached on the story of Adam and Eve, explaining the freedom we were meant to have from the beginning. "True freedom is to
live for God
as He created you to be," Will said.
It was an emotional night for some.

"It takes guts" to publicly accept Christ, Will Graham told the crowd Sunday.
Each volunteer counselor attended Christian Life and Witness courses to learn how to help new believers and answer questions they may have. Often, these trainings even lead to spiritual decisions as people assess how close they really are to God. In Fort Wayne, 175 rededicated their life to Christ while taking the course.
A newcomer to Will Graham Celebrations, Jimi Cravity's unique worship style was a hit in Fort Wayne.
Mesmerized by the performance on stage.
This young girl with Down syndrome danced her heart out during worship at Sunday's Celebration, often lifting her hands then wrapping her arms around herself as if confirming God's love.
Quality time in the presence of God.
"When God doesn’t do what we want him to do, we get mad at God," Will Graham said. "We say, 'God doesn’t care about me.' But that’s not true. He knows your name. ... He knows the hairs on your head."
I surrender all.

Every night of the Will Graham Celebration was streamed live online. Across three days, more than 46,000 people representing 62 countries had watched. Thank you for your prayers.
