231,000 Ukrainians Hear Graham Preach

Franklin Graham (Wikipedia) preached to more than 231,000 Ukrainians at a recent event in Ukraine. His preaching was accompanied by a 4000-member choir. Nearly 6,700 responded publicly to the gospel call.

Over three days, the Graham fest drew 124,586 to the Olympic Stadium in the country’s capital Kiev, and another 107,000 people via live satellite broadcast in 104 additional venues across Ukraine.

On the festival’s second night, more than 40,000 people stood in the rain and 6,694 people responded to the invitation to follow Jesus Christ by the end of the weekend, according to the festival’s report.

“For years, Samaritan’s Purse has used the Ukrainian Antonov airplane to transport hundreds of thousands of our Operation Christmas Child shoe box gifts,” said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

“Now I am here in your country, not because of the Antonov, but because of the Gospel—the good news that you can have spiritual freedom found in Jesus Christ,” Graham said.
