A Note from Franklin Graham

Dear Friends,

Telling someone else the Good News of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest privileges I know, for when others hear and believe the Gospel, their lives are changed forever.

Much of my time is spent working in the desolate regions of the world, where multitudes of people are hurting and hopeless. But one doesn't have to live where there is war and famine to be empty and fearful. All have sinned, and sin separates us from God, leaving us guilty, aimless and lost. The message of Christ, however, is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes (Romans 1:16). That's why I join with Christians and churches in communities like yours to proclaim this truth through Festivals. By reaching out together, we see thousands of men, women, and young people each year find new life through repentance and faith in Him.

As you consider how the Lord would have you go about fulfilling the Great Commission to "make disciples," my prayer is that you will have a clear sense of God's will and timing, and the courage to launch out in obedience of Him, however formidable the challenges may seem. We stand ready to work with you in fulfilling God's plan.

Sincerely,

Franklin Graham
