GREENVILLE, S.C., Oct. 28, 2026 – Raised in the Carolina mountains, evangelist Will Graham enjoyed a homecoming of sorts on Wednesday as he proclaimed the Good News of Jesus Christ in Greenville, South Carolina. Approximately 480 people gathered in Unity Park to worship, pray and hear a Biblical message at the 12th stop of the Declaration of Dependence Tour.
“This state of South Carolina helped to build the spiritual foundation of our nation. The anchor of faith runs deep here,” said Graham.
As he turned to his message, based on the Biblical passage John 3:16, Graham shared, “The Creator gives purpose to His creation. Let me ask you this: What’s your purpose in life? Your purpose is to have a relationship with your Creator—with God. Jesus Christ desires a relationship with you.”
As the program closed, Graham invited the audience gathered in Unity Park to follow Jesus Christ as Savior.
