WHO:
Evangelist Franklin Graham is bringing a message of hope to the Baltimore region on the second stop of the God Loves You Tidewater Tour. The program in Timonium will include live performances by Grammy-nominated, platinum-selling Newsboys, five-time Latin Grammy-winner Marcos Witt, and award-winning musician Dennis Agajanian. The event is free, family-friendly, and all are welcome. In addition to serving as president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, which shares the Good News of Jesus Christ around the world, Franklin Graham leads Samaritan’s Purse, an international Christian relief and evangelism organization with work in more than 170 countries and territories, including war-torn Ukraine.
WHAT:
The God Loves You Tidewater Tour is an outreach of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), and it is visiting six cities in Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina this spring. During each event, Franklin Graham will remind people that God cares for them and has a purpose for their lives. Nearly 170 churches from the Baltimore region are working with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association because they say the life-changing message of the Bible needs to be shared in central Maryland. Over the past seven years, more than half a million people have attended Graham’s tours across all 50 states.

WHY:
Angel Núñez, senior pastor of Bilingual Christian Church in Baltimore, said, “Here in the Baltimore area, the hurt and pain is evident in many communities. Drugs, violence, human trafficking and hopelessness reign. Many people are broken and they have lost all hope.” He continued saying, “It is precisely at this moment in our lives that we need a touch from God and to hear of His great love for us.”
