Berlin is a city once divided by walls. This week, it became a symbol of unity as more than 1,000 pastors and ministry leaders assembled for the European Congress on Evangelism.
Held at the JW Marriott and hosted by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, the event brought together participants from 56 countries for what many are calling the most significant spiritual gathering in Europe since Amsterdam 2000. At the center of it all, a single cross illuminated the room—marking a return to the city where Billy Graham launched his global mission in 1966.
"The Gospel has power—if we're going to reach Europe, we're going to need an army," said Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. "An army of evangelists unafraid, unashamed, unapologetic, uncompromised."
