Franklin Graham to preach in Manchester as 600 UK churches mobilize

Nearly 600 churches across the United Kingdom are mobilizing for the “God Loves You Tour,” an evangelistic event scheduled to take place at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on October 3.

Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), is expected to preach to thousands. The event will also feature musical performances by Michael W. Smith, Charity Gayle, and Faith Child. Admission to the gathering is free and does not require advance tickets.

Graham noted the significance of the Manchester stop due to his family's history in the city, stating it is a privilege to return to the location where his father, Billy Graham, preached 65 years ago. This marks the ninth stop for the tour in the UK since its launch in 2022.
