(CBN NEWS) -- Tens of thousands of people came out to Copacabana Beach in Rio De Janeiro Saturday night to listen to Evangelist Franklin Graham's message about God's love.
Graham, who is the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and the Samaritan's Purse humanitarian ministry, wrote in a Facebook post that over 68,000 people attended Esperança Rio, or "Hope" Rio.
"The Bible says the value of the human soul is worth more than the entire world. Let's say you own all the real estate on Copacabana Beach, you own the hotels, the luxury apartments, the beautiful restaurants. Let's say all of that was yours—your soul is worth far more than all of that—you have more value," Rev. Graham told the crowd. "For anyone who turns from their sins and puts their faith and trust in God's Son Jesus Christ, know this—God has forgiven your sins! As the Bible says, He has cast them into the depths of the sea."
