The London Celebration with Will Graham will culminate with a three-day evangelistic outreach and concert event October 22-24, 2021. The Celebration will feature Christian musicians and other artists, testimonies, and Gospel presentations by Will Graham, who will invite attendees to commit their lives to Christ.

The local churches of the area are working together in partnership with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to reach their community for Christ. Invite friends, family members, neighbors, and co-workers to hear the Gospel as Will Graham preaches alongside Christian music artists.

Working closely with local churches and following all current government restrictions related to COVID-19, it’s exciting to announce: this event live, and in person!

Bring a Friend

In John 1:40-42a (NIV) we read, “Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother, was one of the two who heard what John had said and who had followed Jesus. The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ). And he brought him to Jesus.”

‘Like Andrew, those of us who have a personal relationship with Christ must seek out those in our lives who don’t know Jesus, and bring them to Him’. The Bring a Friend initiative encourages us to faithfully pray for, and intentionally strengthen these relationships.

The ‘Bring a Friend’ initiative encourages you to:
PRAY
Write down the name of someone you know who needs Jesus and then pray each day for him or her. Ask God to open their heart and give you opportunities to share His love with them.
SHARE
Spend time with your friend. Grab a cup of coffee or attend an event together. It can deepen your friendship and create an opportunity to talk about Christ. Begin to talk with your friend about attending the Celebration outreach weekend with you.
BRING
Bring your friend to the event. If he or she responds to Christ or begins to show interest in the Gospel, they will need your ongoing encouragement. (And if they don’t respond, continue to love and pray for them.)
FOLLOW UP
Invite them to church with you. God can use you and your church to bring them into a deepening relationship with Jesus.
