Will Graham Brings Hope to Florida After Life-Changing Outreach in Estonia
Evangelist Will Graham, grandson of the late Billy Graham, has continued his family’s global mission of spreading the Gospel with a powerful ministry tour across Florida. His “Sunshine State Good News Tour,” organized by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), came just days after a deeply moving outreach in Estonia, where hundreds gave their lives to Christ. Supported by more than 475 local churches, the Florida tour covered four major cities Tallahassee, Gainesville, Sarasota, and Pompano Beach from October 26 to November 1, uniting believers across the state in a renewed wave of evangelism.
The first stop in Tallahassee drew nearly 2,800 attendees to the Automobile Museum Field. The evening began with vibrant worship led by award-winning artists Jeremy Camp and Christine D’Clario, preparing hearts for the message to come. When Will Graham stepped forward, his tone was warm yet direct. “You are handmade. You are created in the image of God,” he told the crowd. “Some of you feel far from Him tonight, but that can change.” His words carried quiet power. When he invited people to receive Christ, hundreds stepped forward, many with tears in their eyes. The BGEA later described the scene as a moving display of faith and transformation, noting that “God’s presence filled the capital city that night.”
Local pastors spoke with excitement about the sense of unity the tour inspired. Rev. Mike Corb of Thomasville Road Baptist Church said, “We’ve seen a beautiful partnership among pastors and churches, all with one goal to reach the lost. We’re praying for a mighty move of God, because He is our only hope.” The preparation for the tour had been just as spiritual as the events themselves. More than 1,300 believers across Florida completed the Christian Life and Witness Course, a BGEA program that strengthens faith and trains participants to share the Gospel. These volunteers served as prayer counselors during each city’s outreach, ensuring that new believers received guidance and encouragement.

Just before his Florida mission, Will Graham had traveled to Tallinn, Estonia, for the Time of Hope Festival, where thousands gathered to hear his message about God’s love and forgiveness. The event drew people from across the country, including some who traveled by ferry from islands in the Baltic Sea. The atmosphere was electric as American worship artist Aaron Shust led songs that echoed through the packed arena. When the familiar lyrics filled the hall, over 5,000 Estonians joined in their native language a powerful moment of unity through worship.
Graham’s sermon in Estonia centered on the search for lasting happiness. “Happiness isn’t found in money or in where you live,” he told the crowd. “Real joy begins when God fills your heart. Let Him change your life and give you peace.” The response was overwhelming. That night, 575 people stepped forward to accept Jesus Christ. Many were emotional as they prayed, finding hope for the first time. In a statement afterward, the BGEA thanked supporters worldwide and urged continued prayer for Estonia, asking that “many more will come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ and the lasting hope only He can give.”
Estonia holds a special place in the Graham family’s history. Will’s father, Franklin Graham, preached there in 2009, and his grandfather Billy Graham visited during the Cold War in 1984. During his recent trip, Will visited St. Olaf’s Church, the same historic site where his grandfather once preached. Standing in that quiet sanctuary, he reflected on the enduring message that has guided three generations of Grahams the message of God’s love and redemption. From the Baltic shores of Estonia to the sunshine cities of Florida, Will Graham continues to share that same truth: the hope of Jesus Christ remains timeless, transforming hearts and lives wherever it is proclaimed.
