Evangelistic Graham Fest Breaks Record with 186,000 in Ecuador

American evangelist Franklin Graham made history this past weekend by attracting a crowd of 185,674 people to the Festival of Hope – the largest evangelical event in Ecuador’s history.

The festival took place in the western port city of Guayaquil – the largest and most populous city in Ecuador – and broke the record set by last year’s Graham Fest which drew over 140,000 people to the capital city of Quito.

“Each time we go to a different city we have no idea how many people will come, if the weather will be a problem, or how many lives will be changed,” said Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, in a statement. “But God knows and we are humbled to just be a part of the impact He had on this city – it was more than we could have imagined.”
