The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) launched a global evangelism project the old-fashioned way-with a week of tent revival services.
Oral Roberts, James Robison, Robert H. Schuller, Benny Hinn, and CBN founder Pat Robertson took turns preaching under the 5,000-seat tent outside CBN headquarters in Virginia Beach, Virginia. An estimated 34,000 people attended Revivalfest ’95.
On the final day of the campaign, October 1, Christians carried a flaming torch 12 miles from Cape Henry, where the first English settlers landed in 1607, to CBN headquarters.
The symbolic event inaugurated WorldReach, a joint project of CBN and other ministries to try to convert 500 million people to Christianity by the end of the century through literature, films, and television programs.
