SARASOTA, Fla., Oct. 30, 2025 – A crowd of approximately 3,000 gathered at Sarasota Fairgrounds for the third night of the four-city Sunshine State Good News Tour with Will Graham on Oct. 30. The evening outreach featured music by award-winning Christian artists Jeremy Camp and Christine D’Clario, followed by a message from Matthew 27 by evangelist Will Graham.
“You don’t have to have that shame and guilt that you’re struggling with right now. Jesus will come into your life and give you a new beginning and a fresh start,” said Graham. “Jesus Christ, and Him alone, died for your sins. But three days later, He came out of the grave. He’s alive! I’m not asking you to come to a dead god. Ask the Living King to come into your life.”
At the end of his message, more than 130 people from across the fairgrounds responded to Graham’s invitation to begin a relationship with Jesus Christ.
