CALIFORNIA — Franklin Graham went to the U.S.-Mexico border to share a message of God’s love. The final night of the tour took place in Chula Vista, California, on Saturday, March 9. The God Loves You Frontera Tour visited 10 cities, starting at the Gulf of Mexico and going all the way to the Pacific.

More than 205 churches in San Diego County worked with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) to bring this evening of music and hope to southern California.

Franklin Graham:

A couple of years ago, God just put this tour on my heart. We ought to go up the border. Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. There’s all kinds of need, but the greatest need is the spiritual.

We have a historic opportunity to share the gospel along our border and to say, God loves you. You are important to God. He loves you. The Bible says that God so loved the world. He so loved you. That he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever believeth in him. Should not perish but have everlasting life.

Participant 1:

I wanted to accept Jesus into my life and get closer to him.

Participant 2:

I knew it was that time to get right before the Lord. I was just like, “Lord, I’m your servant.”

Participant 3:

Franklin’s words touched my heart so that I could repent of my sins and accept God into my heart.

Participant 4:

Now I have the Holy Spirit and I feel I can leave here today and start fresh.

We’re really seeing the spirit of God move in these people’s lives inside of their hearts. God is still active. He’s still working today.

We have never seen an event like this. I can’t wait to see the harvest of the souls that just came to Christ.

The thousands of people who made a decision to follow Christ will impact every one of the border cities for years to come.

God loves you.
