Will Graham’s Canada Tour came to a close Sunday night in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador. More than 6,400 people attended the three-day Avalon Celebration of Hope. Another 21,000 people from 53 countries watched online. Many decided to turn their lives over to Christ during the Canada events.
The first stop on Will’s tour was Oct. 26-27 in Rankin Inlet, a remote town not far from the Arctic Circle. This past weekend, he shared the Gospel in the Avalon Region. The area is known for its friendly people, with a heritage of English, Irish, French and Indigenous ancestry.
Will Graham preached from Luke 23, sharing how Jesus—the King of kings and Lord of lords—hung on the cross between two thieves. “The man in the middle can change your life tonight,” Will said. The moose figurine on the podium was a gift from a young boy to Will, after the evangelist joked that he hadn’t seen any moose, even though the province is heavily populated with them.
“It takes guts to make a decision for Christ. And no one can make it for you,” Will told Sunday’s crowd. “Everything can change tonight when you give everything over to Christ.”
Many flooded the floor of the Mile One Centre in St. John’s to pray for Jesus to be their Lord and Savior.
