With a series of messages, concerts by international Christian singers, and family-focused reflections, the fourth edition of the UNIFEST Festival was held at the Sierra Hermosa Ecological and Sports Park in Tecámac, in the State of Mexico last month. Organizers estimated that 90,000 people attended the event.
From early in the day, Christians and members of the general public participated in activities that had been promoted for several months. The program opened with a children’s show led by the Christian clown “Ventanita,” who encouraged children to obey their parents.
The main speaker was Australian evangelist Nick Vujicic, internationally known for his testimony of faith, hope and perseverance.
“Despite circumstances, it is possible to be happy. From a young age, people bullied me. There is nothing good about bullying—do not believe the lies of the world,” Vujicic said.
During his message, the Australian speaker shared that at age 10, due to the bullying he endured and the depression he experienced, he attempted suicide. “I listened to the lie that I would always be alone and tried to drown myself in the bathtub. I was afraid, but I met Jesus Christ, and my life changed,” he said.
Vujicic, founder of Life Without Limbs—an international ministry through which he has spoken in more than 70 countries—emphasized that living without limbs has not prevented him from finding happiness. He has been married for 14 years and is the father of four children.
“Do not worry about what the world tells you. You are beautiful. It is not about how you look, but who you are. God wants you to know that you are precious and unique,” he said.
Vujicic also announced that he will be present on April 4, 2026, at the Zócalo in Mexico City for the event “March for Jesus.”
“I pray to God for your nation. God loves Mexico. We expect 200,000 people to give their lives to Jesus Christ in the Zócalo, and we believe that 40 million people will hear the good news of Jesus Christ through open television broadcasts that day,” the Australian evangelist added.
The UNIFEST Festival has been held annually since 2022 at the Sierra Hermosa Ecological and Sports Park in Tecámac and is coordinated through the municipality’s Office of Religious Affairs.
The audience was energized by Dominican Christian singer Willy González Cruz, known as “Redimi2,” one of the pioneers of Christian-focused hip-hop in Latin America and considered one of the most influential youth leaders of this generation.
Redimi2 is known for collaborating with prominent figures in Christian urban music and for taking his message to international stages, demonstrating that rap and hip-hop can be effective tools for communicating hope and truth.
With contemporary rhythms, the singer combined lyrics drawn from everyday life, urban storytelling and modern beats as he performed a selection of his songs for the predominantly young audience.
He issued a challenge to young people: “You should not be tolerant just to fit in with society. The one speaking to you is a former drug addict—I used drugs and sold them until I met Jesus,” Redimi2 said.
During this edition of UNIFEST, the festival worked in coordination with the municipal program “Puerta Violeta,” a service that provides immediate assistance to victims of all forms of violence, with special attention to women and their children.
According to reports from the Tecámac government website, the service assisted more than 213 people last year. Staff from the Integral Family Development system provided accompaniment, guidance and protection to victims of domestic violence.
Organizers said UNIFEST seeks to promote family unity and values within society.
The program also featured the band Generación 12, under the Mission Música label—an influential worship collective originating from Misión Carismática Internacional Church and Mission Orlando Church.
Mexican missionary JC Marker also participated, encouraging attendees to share the message of Jesus Christ with other nations and highlighting the mission trips he has taken with young Christians to various countries.
