The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (June 23, 2011) that thousands of Spanish-speaking California residents are expected to gather in Los Angeles this weekend for the Franklin Graham "Festival de Esperanza."
The gathering -- to be held June 25-26 at the Home Depot Center arena, is Graham's first bilingual event in the U.S.
"Our hope is that anyone who is struggling with questions about life or would like a new beginning will watch this Festival of Hope," said Franklin Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and the international Christian relief organization Samaritan's Purse.
Festival organizers say their goal is to reach more than 4.7 million native Spanish speakers in the area. Rev. Billy Graham -- Franklin Graham's father -- held his 1949 Crusade in Los Angeles, and returned 55 years later to preach at the Rose Bowl.
