75,000 ARGENTINIANS FLOOD STADIUM TO HEAR THE GOSPEL: "A MIRACLE FROM HEAVEN"
More than 75,000 Argentinians heard the Gospel at a two night evangelistic outreach event in Buenos Aires on November 7 and 8, 2025, where Reverend Franklin Graham preached salvation through Jesus Christ.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association provided a recap of the free event titled Esperanza Buenos Aires, held at Velez Stadium. Graham spoke to nearly 75,000 people over the two nights, sharing the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ. The event took place 34 years after Franklin Graham's father, Billy Graham, traveled to Argentina to share the Gospel. The first night of programming occurred on what would have been Billy Graham's 107th birthday.
"God loves you. He made you and cares for you and has a plan for your life," Graham told the crowd. "He wants to forgive you, but you have to come to His Son, Jesus Christ, in repentance and faith."
The outreach was the result of a partnership with 2,500 churches across Argentina. Approximately 30,000 people attended on Friday night, with attendance growing to 43,000 on Saturday night. A fleet of 1,000 buses transported attendees to Velez Stadium.
In addition to Graham's preaching, Esperanza Buenos Aires featured musical performances from Argentinian Christian band Rescate, Latin Grammy nominated artist Redimi2, and American Christian musicians Michael W. Smith and Charity Gayle.
One attendee, 30 year old Adriana, recounted how the event changed her life. "He spoke about sins and that really touched me. The fact that he was willing to tell all people about sin, from the stage, in front of so many people, I know that impacted all the people here, not just me."
"God is calling me back," she proclaimed. "God spoke to me a lot about my sins, and it really got to my heart. This event renewed my faith. I go home very blessed and encouraged to follow Christ."
Another attendee, Valentino, expressed confidence that he was "here for a reason," adding, "God called me to Him here today." He described how "I felt His love, I felt joy. Today I believe He is the way, the truth, and the life. I want to start following God and I want to bring my family too because they don't walk with Him," Valentino declared.
Ale Neusch, who served as the church coordinator for Esperanza Buenos Aires, indicated that he was "blown away and surprised by the number of people who came forward."
According to Neusch, "It's incredible to see so many lives be changed at one moment here in this stadium. It's beyond words. This is not common. We're not used to seeing things like what just happened. It's a miracle from Heaven, and we thank God for each and every person whose life was transformed by accepting Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior."
Graham reflected on his time in Buenos Aires in a social media post on X Sunday. "I came to Buenos Aires to tell the people of Argentina that God loves them and wants to have a relationship with them. I shared that there's only one way to have a personal relationship with God, and that is by putting our trust in Jesus Christ. He paid the price for our sins. We thank God for the hundreds who responded to God's invitation to come to Him in repentance and faith!"
Esperanza Buenos Aires is one of several overseas trips on Graham's itinerary. Graham also plans to visit Nagaland, India; Siem Reap, Cambodia; Lima, Peru; and Madrid, Spain in the near future.
THE CRUSADER'S OPINION
Seventy five thousand people in a stadium to hear the Gospel.
Two thousand five hundred churches working together.
One thousand buses bringing people to hear about Jesus.
Argentina is hungry for truth.
While Western churches debate pronouns and climate activism, South America fills stadiums for salvation.
Franklin Graham preached sin, repentance, and the exclusivity of Christ.
No watered down message.
No cultural compromise.
Just the Gospel.
Hundreds came forward to accept Christ.
Lives transformed in one night.
Argentina's president prays with pastors in the palace.
Now tens of thousands flood a stadium for the Gospel.
Just beautiful.
Hallelujah
