Franklin Graham Decision America Tour - More dates

Decision America Tour
 
Dear Friend,

I’m excited to announce six new stops for the Decision America Tour in June and July:

• June 14–Springfield, Illinois
• June 15–Madison, Wisconsin
• June 16–St. Paul, Minnesota
• June 28–Salem, Oregon
• June 29–Olympia, Washington
• July 1–Juneau, Alaska


We’re heading into a busy season for the tour—this month we’ll be in six states! Will you join me, along with your church or group, when I come to your state? This is a chance for Christians to stand together, hand in hand, to pray for our leaders and our nation. It’s also a chance to let our politicians know that the Christian voice and the Christian vote count.

• March 15–Denver, Colorado
• March 16–Santa Fe, New Mexico
• March 18–Phoenix, Arizona
• March 29–Salt Lake City, Utah
• March 30–Carson City, Nevada
• March 31–Sacramento, California
• April 12–Little Rock, Arkansas
• April 13–Jackson, Mississippi
• April 14–Montgomery, Alabama
• April 26–Austin, Texas
• April 27–Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
• April 28–Topeka, Kansas
• May 3–Nashville, Tennessee
• May 4–Frankfort, Kentucky
• May 5–Charleston, West Virginia
• May 17–Jefferson City, Missouri
• May 18–Lincoln, Nebraska
• May 24–Pierre, South Dakota
• May 25–Bismarck, North Dakota


God tells us in His Word, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16, NKJV). As thousands of people gather at each state capitol to pray, we are asking God to work in a mighty way—in individual lives and in our nation. Imagine the impact this can have on America!

“If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).

If you haven’t already, I urge you to register your Decision America Tour pledge to God and to our nation online—and urge your friends and your church to do the same.

 

Thank you for your support of the Decision America Tour and for standing for God’s truth. May He bless you and your faithfulness—and may God bless America

Sincerely,

Franklin Graham

P.S. Will you let your friends or family in other states know about the Decision America Tour? Send them to DecisionAmericaTour.com to learn more and then invite them to join us on their capitol steps.

Franklin Graham Has Only Begun to Rebuke - BOB ESCHLIMAN CHARISMA NEWS

Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham Has Only Begun to Rebuke

Franklin Graham repeated his calls for America to turn to God in a Facebook post he made Friday. (Video Screenshot Image)


Friday afternoon, evangelist Franklin Graham's public rebuking of politicians continued when he called out Mitt Romney and the Republican Party establishment for the attacks on GOP front-runner Donald Trump.
"I'm 63 years old, and I've never seen anything like this," he said on Facebook. "This Republican presidential campaign has not only sunk to new lows, but the Republican establishment seems to be desperate to pick their own candidate."
Graham acknowledged there are "some good candidates running," but stuck with his decision not to endorse any one in particular. Instead, he said he would continue to call for "radical change" in the only way he knows it can come.
"I'm fed up with both the Republican and the Democratic parties. Both are corrupt—clearly broken—and need to be overhauled. They need radical change," he wrote. "Ultimately, the only way this nation can be turned around is for us to acknowledge God and call on His Name. God tells us in His Word, 'If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land' (2 Chronicles 7:14)."
In just 30 minutes, the post received more than 32,000 "likes."
For a limited time, we are extending our celebration of the 40th anniversary of Charisma. As a special offer, you can get 40 issues of Charisma magazine for only $40!

DECISION AMERICA TOUR 2016 with Franklin Graham

Decision America Tour
“America is too young to die.” 

Dear Friend,

My father, Billy Graham, turns 97 this week on November 7. He still has a tremendous burden for the lost and faithfully prays for our nation. He is deeply concerned about the direction of our nation, and I can’t think of a better encouragement on his birthday than knowing that many others are also devoting themselves to fervent prayer and bold action for America.

Nearly 40 years ago, my father said something that is even more pressing today. “Will America turn to God at this late hour, or will America continue on the broad road that leads to destruction? … There is no possible solution to the problems we face apart from a change in the spiritual atmosphere.” He continued with chilling words: “America is too young to die.”

My father then urged Christians to pray for America, to get involved in the political process, and to help shape the kind of country we’d all want for our children and grandchildren. That’s exactly what I’m going to do on Decision America Tour in 2016—to travel to each of the 50 states to proclaim the Gospel and call the church to follow God’s Word in repenting of our sins and seeking Him. I will challenge Christians to take a stand, to get off the sidelines, and to get involved in the political process at all levels.

Today we’re announcing three more stops on the tour: Columbia, South Carolina, February 9; Atlanta, Georgia, February 10; and Honolulu, Hawaii, February 24. I’m also asking you to join your state’s prayer team and to sign the Decision America pledge. Will you act today—and will you invite everyone you know to join me in your state capital in 2016?

America is too young to die. God, revive our nation!



Sincerely,

Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham: America Has Turned Its Back on God

Franklin Graham: America Has Turned Its Back on God

Franklin Graham

Sometime after my mother died, when I visited my father, I began to notice Scripture verses appearing all over the house—on an index card taped to the kitchen telephone, on a marker board in his study, even on a hand-lettered poster in his bedroom.
It became clear that all of the verses were about the cross. One said, “God forbid that I should boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ” (Gal. 6:14). The Lord had put it in my father's heart that if he ever was physically able to share a message again, he would speak about the cross, and he was determined to saturate his mind with the Scripture.
Now God has given my father that opportunity—not in a stadium crusade, but through a special television program called The Cross.
Click here to read the original article at BillyGraham.org.
Over the past several months, he has been working with a video crew in his home to film a brand-new telecast that will air beginning Nov. 7—his 95th birthday—on the Fox News channel, TBN and other Christian networks, and also on local TV stations in a number of cities. It’s a tremendously powerful program that has his message interwoven with captivating testimonies of lives changed by the living Christ.
Tens of thousands of people across the country are inviting their unsaved family and friends to their homes to watch the program, which appeals to and touches people of all ages. A part of the My Hope America With Billy Graham nationwide outreach, it will also be available on DVD and the Internet. Some are gathering groups in neighborhood community centers or at their churches, and some are planning to meet a friend at a coffee shop to watch it on a laptop.
The most important part of My Hope America is prayer. Make a list of those you hope to invite, and start praying for them right now. This is the key.
The fact that each of us may have friends and family who will one day die and spend eternity separated from God in hell ought to keep us up at night. It ought to break our hearts. This November brings a fantastic opportunity for you to make a difference in their lives.
You can find all the details at MyHopeWithBillyGraham.org.
More than 22,000 churches from every state in the nation have already signed up to participate this November. More are added every day.
Is your church one of them?
America has turned its back on God. We see people everywhere who claim to know God but do not live for Him. The only thing that will turn this nation around will be a spiritual awakening, sparked and fanned into flame by the Holy Spirit of God.
God says, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chron. 7:14). This promise was originally given to the Hebrew nation, but when God says “My people,” He extends the promise to all of us who call upon His name and trust in His Son.
Our nation needs healing now more than ever.
My father has also worked for the last year on a new book, which has just come out, called The Reason for My Hope: Salvation. I think this is one of the best books he has ever written. He still has a great urgency to share the truth of the gospel. That same urgency should fill all of us, knowing that eternity is at stake for individuals around us.
Will you pray with us for My Hope America With Billy Graham?
Ask God to save souls and bring revival. Ask Him to draw people to Himself through the power of the gospel, the only thing that can bring lasting hope both in this life and for eternity.
An outreach like this, which includes television as well as providing training and resource materials to all of the churches and participants, is costly, and we are only able to do it with your help.
A gift for My Hope America will bring the life-changing power of the gospel into homes, families and communities—and into individual hearts—all over our nation.
Thank you for your prayers and all you do as you faithfully serve our Lord.
