LOVELAND, CO — The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) has announced plans for a two-day outreach called the Northern Colorado Look Up Celebration with Will Graham. The free event – which will take place Oct. 5-6, 2024, at Blue Arena at The Ranch Events Complex – will feature music by award-winning Christian bands and messages from Will Graham, the grandson of Billy Graham and oldest son of Franklin Graham.

“People often associate my family with North Carolina, but I was actually born in Longmont, Colorado. I’ve prayed that God would one day open the door for me to return to this incredible region with the Gospel,” said Graham. “I’m coming to Northern Colorado to share how we can find peace, purpose and hope in Jesus—not just for today, but for eternity.”

The announcement was made during the afternoon session of the Lift Up Church Encouragement Conference, a daylong event for pastors and church leaders that was hosted by the BGEA.

“Colorado has been a region of spiritual conflict. But where there is much darkness, the light will shine brighter. We anticipate that many people will come to Christ through this outreach and the church will be bolstered and greatly encouraged,” said Associate Pastor Matthew Spencer of Christ Church International in Longmont. “We are very thankful that Will Graham and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association are coming to Northern Colorado.”

A series of activities and planning will take place across the region between now and the Northern Colorado Look Up Celebration in October, including prayer rallies, workshops and community gatherings.
