Evangelist Franklin Graham wrapped up his “Route 66 God Loves You” tour, offering the timeless message of salvation along a classic stretch of highway. More than 56,000 people attended the 14-day tour that spanned eight cities. The power of the Holy Spirit was present during the outreaches as a reported 5,000 attendees chose to follow Christ and many more made the decision while watching the event online.

Speaking about the purpose of the tour, Graham said, “Times change, culture changes, but people’s need for a relationship with God through his son, Jesus Christ, doesn’t change.”

Graham says Jesus is the answer to the fear and hopelessness people are experiencing in this day and time. “With all the bad news around us day in and day out, people need hope,” he explained. “I want people along Route 66 – and the rest of this nation – to know that God loves them.”

These were the first events the evangelist has held since the COVID-19 pandemic began. The road trip started on Sept. 19 in Joliet, Illinois, and finished on Oct. 2 in San Bernardino, California.
