Hope Shines in Brussels: Graham Leads Revival
Faith Facts
- Over 14,000 people attended the Festival of Hope with Franklin Graham in Brussels.
- The gospel message was translated into seven languages, uniting attendees from diverse backgrounds.
- Hundreds responded to the invitation to place their faith in Jesus Christ.
Franklin Graham delivered a stirring message of salvation at Brussels’ ING Arena, drawing thousands hungry for the gospel and the promise of new life in Christ. Supported by 620 evangelical churches, this festival became a beacon for believers across a nation often divided by language and culture.
“We praise Him for the hundreds of lives changed for eternity as people of all ages responded to the Gospel!”
Hundreds overflowed into adjacent areas as the crowd surpassed expectations, demonstrating a powerful yearning for truth and unity through faith in Jesus. The gospel was translated into multiple languages, breaking down barriers and showing that God’s love knows no borders.
“It’s a sign that God is on the move and something real is happening. This is a milestone that will be remembered by the evangelical church in Belgium, but it’s not about religion. It’s not about evangelicals. It’s about Jesus Christ! This is just the start—it’s the launching point—I believe there is much more to come.”
Brussels, once central during the Reformation, now witnessed believers from every walk of life worshiping as one, echoing Franklin Graham’s message that Christ came not to condemn, but to save. Many responded in faith, showing true revival stirs where the gospel is boldly proclaimed.
“Tonight, I want you to know that God loves you and that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, from Heaven to this earth to take your sins. This is why Jesus Christ came. He didn’t come to condemn us, He came to save us. Jesus Christ came for all, but you’ve got to come to Him in faith.”
Youth and adults alike found hope and purpose through Christ, renewing the resolve of churches to disciple new believers and live out godly unity. Such events show how faith, when rooted in Christ, can change the destiny of nations.
“It’s important for the churches to hear and to see people standing to their feet, coming forward, confessing their sins, repenting of their sins, and inviting Christ into their hearts to know Him. This will strengthen the Church.”
The Festival of Hope in Brussels demonstrated the power of the gospel to unite, restore, and inspire. Stand firm in prayer for Belgium’s churches as they nurture this spiritual awakening for faith, family, and freedom in Christ.

- Welby conceded he failed to prioritize victims and energetically pursue the John Smyth abuse tragedy.
- He now attends psychotherapy and psychiatry sessions to cope with the loneliness of his resignation and moral weight.
- While admitting shortcomings, Welby contests claims the Church never reported to police, affirming authorities instructed no further inquiry.
Former Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby resigned in November 2024.
The Makin report exposed failures in addressing abuse allegations against John Smyth, who abused victims in Britain and Africa for decades.
The report faulted Welby for not doing enough upon learning of the allegations, prompting his admission of personal failure in ensuring a thorough investigation.
Biblical leadership demands unwavering accountability to protect the flock, as Scripture warns shepherds who neglect justice face divine judgment.
Welby told the Rosebud Podcast.
“I’ve been seeing a psychotherapist for a considerable period of time. And a psychiatrist. Very helpful.”
He explained.
“It’s not about saying, ‘oh, it didn’t matter’, or anything like that, quite the reverse – how does one live with such a failure?”
Keith Makin upheld his report.
He noted Welby knew of Smyth and bore personal moral responsibility to pursue beyond mere assurances from police.
Church leaders must embody Christ-like repentance and vigilance to safeguard families and uphold godly standards in our nation.
