Alex Bowler gave his life to Christ at a Billy Graham rally in 1989. Now, he’s planning a twelve-week mission to London that begins in Harringay, where Dr Graham’s historic 1954 crusade started 70 years ago. Here’s how you can get involved

In 1954, Billy Graham kicked off his London crusade at Harringay Arena. It lasted for twelve weeks and was attended by more than one million people, culminating in an event at Wembley Stadium which drew a crowd of more than 100,000 people.

This mission affected not only London but the whole country – and I believe the time is right for another such mission. Several years ago, the Lord spoke to me as I travelled on the London Underground and gave me a vision for another twelve-week mission in London. The Hope for London vision was birthed.
