Hundreds in Mexico Find Safe Haven in Christ
The Celebration of Hope in Pachuca, Mexico, marked Will Graham's first Latin America Celebration and drew thousands over a three-day period, March 31-April 2.
On April 1, an estimated 6,100 people came out for day two of the Celebration of Hope with Will Graham in Pachuca. The event wrapped up the following day.

invitation to follow Christ

A unique tidbit about Pachuca, Mexico, is its nickname, “Mexico’s Little Cornwall.” The area was heavily influenced by Cornish immigrants, who arrived in the 1820s to mine silver. The Brits introduced fútbol (soccer) to Mexico as well as their signature dish, a “pastie” (pastry filled with meat).
In Spirit & In Truth helped prepare hearts for the Gospel message.
This man carefully studies discipleship material he received at the Celebration. Leading up to this weekend's events, churches handed out some 50,000 “Bring a Friend” cards that encouraged believers to pray for and invite non-believers to the 3-day Celebration.
Standing in front of God and man to
surrender their hearts to Christ
.
Will Graham challenged Pachucans to
make a decision
. "You say you're religious, but you've never surrendered your life to Christ. When it comes to Jesus, you cannot be neutral."
The Mi Esperanza Band's praises filled the popular David Ben Gurion Park, best known for its tile mosaic ground built by Mexico’s Jewish community.
Happy faces.
“Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.” —Colossians 3:2
Will you pray for all the people who made decisions for Christ through the Celebration of Hope?
