They say that the office space may be temporary, but the impact of the festival could last a lifetime. There's so much excitement and enthusiasm, it's contagious. You can't be here five minutes and not be excited about the festival. People will be talking about this 50 years from now about when Franklin Graham came to the upstate. Graham has traveled around the world, sharing his message with millions of people.
