Special message from Franklin Graham

· As we continue implementing Operation Andrew – the foundation of the Celebration – we have placed a special greeting for you from Franklin Graham on our website. You can reach it by clicking the link below and then scrolling down our home page to just below the “Information about Celebration Services” box. If possible, we encourage you to download this video. Please plan to play it for your congregations on Sunday, 30 March to encourage continued focus on prayer for family and friends who don’t know Jesus! http://www.celebrationofhope.co.uk/

Celebration of Hope is not about mass evangelism, but personal evangelism - on a mass scale. As such there is a lot of time and energy focused on training and preparation and on handling the follow up and discipleship.

The philosophy behind the Celebration Of Hope is....
45% preparation 10% presentation 45% preservation

Bring your Operation Andrew guest(s) and witness the Lord doing something amazing!

It also maintains that within the Bible are the following teachings: That God, by His sovereign grace predestines people into salvation; that Jesus died only for those predestined; that God regenerates the individual where he is then able and wants to c...
