Prayers were answered at the Celebration of Hope with Will Graham in Pachuca, Mexico, March 31-April 2, as hundreds found a new beginning in Christ. This event marked the evangelist's first ever Celebration in Latin America.
Will Graham told Pachuca, "Some of you, everything looks good on the outside but inside it's a mess. You're looking for a change. Christ can change your life tonight."
Some 300 churches came together to partner with the Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association for the Celebration of Hope. Many worked tirelessly planning and praying for the past eight months.
