More good news out of the UK. Franklin Graham’s “God Loves You” tour stopped in Manchester, more than 10,000 people packed the arena, and over 800 of them walked forward to give their lives to Jesus.
What happened
- Christians from nearly 600 evangelical churches invited friends and family, and they filled a fleet of more than 200 buses to get people there.
- Graham preached a simple message: “Jesus came to save us. He didn’t come to condemn us. If you remember anything tonight, remember this: God loves you.”
- A 19-year-old who responded said it felt “as if someone touched my soul” and that she “really felt God’s presence.”
- Graham told CBN News, “I think you do see pockets of revival, no question,” and said there are “millions of hungry hearts” across a very secular Britain.
This is the same tour that groups tried to shut down by pressuring venues to cancel. It kept going anyway, and it lands in the middle of a season where we’re also seeing mass baptisms on British beaches.
My take
Graham said it plainly: “There’s supernatural Holy Spirit-filled power in the gospel of Jesus Christ.” That’s it right there. Six hundred churches didn’t fill 200 buses because of a slick event. They prayed, they invited, and the Holy Spirit did what only He can do in a young woman’s heart when she walked forward. Paul said he wasn’t ashamed of the gospel because it is the power of God unto salvation. Still true in Manchester in 2026. Keep praying for the UK. Something is stirring.
Have a blessed day! And Happy Hacking!
