Four-city tour to feature live music by award-winning artists and Gospel messages from evangelist Will Graham
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Sept. 25, 2025 – The four-city Sunshine State Good News Tour with Will Graham will stop at Gainesville’s Depot Park in just over one month. The free evening event on Oct. 28 will feature concerts by award-winning Christian artists Jeremy Camp and Christine D’Clario, along with biblical messages by evangelist Will Graham, the grandson of the late evangelist Billy Graham and son of Franklin Graham.
More than 120 churches across the Gainesville area are participating in the Sunshine State Good News Tour with the goal of reaching their region with the hope of the Gospel.
“I’ve been all over the world and have had the blessing of visiting with people from many walks of life. I’ve found that most people are searching for hope, but it’s elusive. It’s hard to grasp. The things of this world can’t fulfill us,” said Graham. “There is no true and lasting hope apart from God. I’m coming to Florida to share the Good News of the Gospel and explain how we can find real hope in Jesus Christ—not just for today, but for eternity.”
The four-city Sunshine State Good News Tour will begin in Tallahassee on Oct. 26, before moving on to Gainesville. From there it will travel to Sarasota (Oct. 30) and Pompano Beach (Nov. 1). Events begin at 7 p.m. each evening.
“In Gainesville, I see a city marked by both deep hunger and deep hurt—students, families, and leaders searching for meaning in the midst of volatility,” said Pastor Mike Patz of Greenhouse Church. “The greatest need is a hope stronger than fear and a love that melts division. Only the Gospel has that power. It brings peace that stills anxious hearts and power that transforms broken lives. Time after time I’ve seen it with my own eyes: there is no problem the Gospel does not address.”
For the past several months, Christians across the region have been gathering to prepare for the Sunshine State Good News Tour. Pre-tour events have included a special pastors’ conference, a Night of Prayer and Worship, and a series of classes to equip believers to share their faith with others.
