This region in Australia is often likened to Miami or Las Vegas for its vibrant tourist attractions and high-end lifestyle, but this free, family-friendly spiritual event with a focused message on Christian faith stood out against the usual leisure and indulgence.
Will Graham, the eldest son of Franklin Graham and grandson of the famed evangelist Billy Graham, led the gathering.
He told the crowd, “Many people believe there are multiple ways to God, but that’s not what the Bible says. Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’”
The event culminated with hundreds responding to Graham’s call to begin a new faith journey, moving toward the stage to publicly commit to following Jesus Christ.
Over 380 churches and more than 1,000 volunteers contributed to the preparation of the “Look Up Celebration.” The preparation included a Christian Life and Witness Course, aimed at educating participants on living and sharing their faith.
The event also featured performances by Christian music artists THE AFTERS, TAYA, and PLANETBOOM, adding a cultural element to the evangelistic event.
Will has shared the Gospel with more than 1 million people across six continents since beginning his evangelistic ministry in 2006.
