Lancashire Finds Hope by the Seashore

By   •   September 21, 2018

Franklin Graham preached from Mark 8 at the first of three Lancashire Festival of Hope events in Blackpool, England, on Sept. 21. “If you take all the contents of this world, everything that’s in it—the oil, the money, the riches, the militaries—your soul is worth more to God.”
The Afters get things started with a high-energy set at the Winter Gardens Opera House in Blackpool, England.
An architectural achievement, the Opera House is the same place that his late father Billy Graham preached a Crusade in 1982.

Franklin Graham and Billy Graham have both preached several times in England, home of many of the world’s greatest evangelists, theologians and Christian writers. Charles Spurgeon, George Whitefield, John Wycliffe, J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis have all impacted this country with the Gospel.
The Gospel never returns void, as evidenced by the response in England on Friday night.
