The 4th UNIFEST Festival, featuring a series of messages, concerts by international Christian singers, and family-focused reflections, was held last month at the Sierra Hermosa Ecosport Park in Tecamac, Mexico. Organizers estimated that 90,000 people attended the event.
Early in the day, Christians and ordinary people took part in activities that have been promoted for several months. The program began with a children’s show by “Ventanita,” a Christian clown who encouraged children to obey their parents.
The featured speaker was Nick Vujicic, an Australian evangelist known internationally for his testimony of faith, hope and perseverance.
“It is possible to be happy despite your circumstances. People have bullied me since I was a child. There is nothing good about bullying. Don’t believe the lies of the world,” Vujicic said.
In his message, the Australian speaker revealed that he attempted suicide at the age of 10 due to bullying and depression. “I tried to drown myself in the bathtub after hearing the lie that I would always be alone. I was scared, but my life changed when I met Jesus Christ,” he said.
Vujicic, founder of the international service “Living Without Limbs,” who has spoken in more than 70 countries, stressed that living without limbs does not prevent people from finding happiness. He has been married for 14 years and is the father of four children.
“Don’t worry about what the world will say to you. You are beautiful. It’s not what you look like, it’s who you are that matters. God wants you to know that you are precious and unique,” he said.
Vujicic also announced that he will be attending the March for Jesus event on April 4, 2026 in Mexico City’s Zócalo.
“I pray to God for your country. God loves Mexico. We expect 200,000 people to give their lives to Jesus Christ in the Zocalo, and we believe that on that day, 40 million people will hear the good news of Jesus Christ through public television broadcasts,” the Australian evangelist added.
The UNIFEST festival has been held annually since 2022 at the Sierra Hermosa Ecological and Sports Park in Tecamac and is coordinated through the municipality’s Religious Affairs Bureau.
The audience was energized by Dominican Christian singer Willy González Cruz, known as “Ledi Mi 2,” one of the pioneers of Christian-centered hip-hop in Latin America and considered one of the most influential youth leaders of his generation.
Redimi2 is known for collaborating with some of the biggest names in Christian urban music, demonstrating that rap and hip-hop can be effective tools for conveying hope and truth, and taking his message to the international stage.
With contemporary rhythms, the singer performed a selection of his songs primarily to a young audience, combining lyrics taken from everyday life, urban storytelling, and modern beats.
“Don’t be tolerant just to fit in. I’m talking to you as a former drug addict. I used to use and sell drugs until I met Jesus,” Redmi 2 said.
For this edition of UNIFEST, the festival collaborates with the city’s program Puerta Violeta, a service that provides immediate support to victims of all forms of violence, with special consideration for women and their children.
The Tekamak government website reports that the service helped more than 213 people last year. Integrated Family Development System staff provided companionship, guidance, and protection to victims of domestic violence.
Organizers said UNIFEST aims to promote family unity and values in society.
The show also featured Mission Music label’s band Generación 12, an influential worship group with origins in Mission Charismatica International Church and Mission Orlando Church.
JC Marker, a missionary from Mexico, also participated, encouraging attendees to share the message of Jesus Christ with other countries and highlighting his missionary trips to various countries with young Christians.
