Franklin Graham brings Decision America Northeast Tour to Connecticut

Seven-city tour will bring prayer, live music and life-changing message of hope to Bridgeport, Connecticut, on May 28

CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 20, 2019—At a time when people across America are filled with uncertainty, Franklin Graham wants to offer a message of hope to people in the northeast region of the United States. He will also invite them to join him in prayer, asking God to heal the issues that are plaguing our country.

“The problems of the city are about people. Broken families, drugs, violence, gangs, and prostitution — it’s all here,” said Luis Burgos, a pastor in Bridgeport. “We have deep problems of inequality and hopelessness. This campaign is about giving people true hope.”

On May 28, Graham will bring the Decision America Northeast Tour to Bridgeport. The festive, family-friendly event begins at 7:30 p.m. at Seaside Park.

The tour is also visiting Portland, Maine, Burlington, Vt., Manchester, N.H., Springfield, Mass., and East Providence, R.I. Following the stop in Bridgeport, the tour will continue across the northeast with one final event in Syracuse, N.Y.

“We need a spiritual revival—an awakening across this country,” said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Graham will bring a message from God’s Word each night.

“We all face crossroads in our lives—moments when we need to make important decisions,” said Graham. “Through this event, people will have the opportunity to make a decision that can impact their lives not only now but for eternity.”

Popular Grammy-nominated music artist Crowder is also traveling with Graham on the Northeast Tour and will be performing live at each event. Graham and Crowder just completed the Graham Tour in Australia where tens of thousands of people attended seven events in six cities.

The Decision America Northeast Tour is free and everyone is invited to attend.

Graham started Decision America in 2016 when he held events in all 50 state capitals. He continued to tour in 2017 by traveling to 11 cities across Tennessee and Texas. Then in 2018, he toured the west coast, visiting 17 cities in California, Oregon and Washington.
