'My Hope with Billy Graham' Campaign to Continue for the Next Five Years

image
Reporting: Franklin Graham
Millions of people across the United States and Canada watched the My Hope with Billy Graham program over the last few weeks. My father's message, The Cross, has been broadcast on hundreds of TV stations and shown in thousands of churches and homes.

It will be several more weeks before we know the full impact, but we already know of tens of thousands of people who have shared with us that they gave their lives to the Savior in repentance and faith. Praise God!

One pastor of a very large congregation told me his church had 1,300 small groups that met in homes and neighborhoods to watch The Cross, and an average of more than two people came to Christ in each group. He told me he expected up to 3,000 more people than usual to attend his church the next Sunday. The pastor could hardly believe it.

Since my father had asked Christians to invite unsaved friends to watch the broadcast, he wanted to do the same. He had more than 900 guests for a gathering near his home--politicians, celebrities, state and local leaders, as well as some of his longtime friends and many neighbors from the area. We lowered the lights and everyone in the huge room watched The Cross with my father, and then we had a meal together. By the end of the evening, more than 100 indicated they had made a decision for Christ.

We thank God for the thousands of churches who partnered with us in this nationwide outreach. The only hope for our country is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is "the power of God for salvation" (Romans 1:16, ESV). Our job now is to follow up with all those who gave their hearts to Jesus. We want to make sure they are discipled and connected with a Bible-believing church.

I am grateful for each person who has taken part in the My Hope outreach in this country, whether by praying, giving or inviting unsaved friends to watch--some of you have done all three. Please join us now 
in praying for these many new believers.
