The Yuma event was the second to last stop of the tour, with the last one taking place Saturday in Chula Vista, California.

Previous tour dates included events in Tucson, Arizona, and the border town of Eagle Pass, Texas.

“The Bible tells us, ‘If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.’ (1 John 1:9),” Graham quoted. “What a promise!”

Graham has put on outreach tours in 77 cities across 28 states since 2017, preaching to more than 570,000 people. 

“Most importantly, these tours have helped over 34,000 people decide to follow Jesus Christ,” the event’s webpage says.
