Franklin Graham calls America to pray for the president
Franklin Graham and more than 300 Christian leaders set aside Saturday, June 2 as a special day of prayer for the President.
“This is a critical time for America,” Graham said. “We believe our nation is at a crossroads, at a dangerous precipice. The only one who can fix our country’s problems is God Himself, and we pray that God will bless our president and our nation for His glory.”
He and the participating leaders called on pastors and church congregations to pray that God would protect, strengthen, embolden, and direct President Donald Trump.

Franklin Graham concludes Decision America Northeast Tour
From May 19-30, Franklin Graham reached more than 31,000 with the Gospel message during his seven-city evangelistic tour across the Northeast.
From Portland, Maine, to Syracuse, N.Y, Graham called the crowds at each stop of the Decision America Northeast Tour to pray for not only their local and national leadership, but also for the Church.
“The Northeast is one of the most secular regions of our country,” said Graham. “Many people there do not believe in God. Many more don’t believe the Bible is accurate… We pray that the Church will be faithful.”

Will Graham signs copies of his first book at the Billy Graham Library
On June 5, evangelist Will Graham signed copies of his book titled Redeemed: Devotions for the Longing Soul.
“It is exciting to do a book signing in the Billy Graham Library because my grandfather’s legacy and message lives on here, and because much of the book also focuses on that same message,” Graham said. “[This book] is about the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone. It’s not about my experiences. It’s not about Will Graham; it’s not about the ministry. It’s about the Lord redeeming all of mankind.”
Redeemed is a collection of 50 short devotionals, each with a Bible verse, a quote from Billy Graham, a story (often from the life and ministry of Will Graham or Billy Graham) and a biblical lesson.
Purchase your own copy of Redeemed here, and see more information about upcoming events at the Billy Graham Library by visiting billygrahamlibrary.org.
