The Celebration with Will Graham

Saturday, October 23 and
Sunday October 24


7:00 p.m., doors open at 5:30

Budweiser Gardens

Celebration with Will Graham is a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Their mission is to proclaim the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to all we can by every effective means available to us, and equipping others to do the same.

Telling someone else the Good News of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest privileges I know, for when others hear and believe the Gospel, their lives are changed forever. It’s also one of our greatest responsibilities.” -Will Graham

Will has spoken in 33 cities across Canada since first delivering the Good News in Barrie, in 2004, and he is excited to return to the country where he began his work as an evangelist.

“In my many visits to Canada, I have seen much of this vast, diverse, and beautiful country,” Will said. “Regardless of where I have traveled, though, the warmth of Canadians is the same.”

On October 23 and 24, the London Celebration at Budweiser Gardens will feature top Christian musicians and other artists, dynamic video testimonies, and Gospel presentations by Will Graham, who will invite attendees to commit their lives to Christ.

The weekend will include performances by:

Brooke Nicholls
