VIDEO SCRIPT

Thousands packed a major sports arena in Minsk May 16-17 for what organisers described as the largest evangelical outreach event ever held in Belarus.

Christians there called the two day Festival of Hope a ‘miracle’ as Franklin Graham preached to record-breaking crowds of nearly 31,000.

Church leaders in the country said the scale of the event was unprecedented for Belarus’s evangelical community, which represents less than 2% of the population.

And the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association gave out more than 2,000 Bibles during the two day outreach to people who responded to Franklin Graham’s Gospel invitation.
