Franklin Graham 50-State Tour: It's Decision Time

04-15-2015

Evangelist and humanitarian Franklin Graham says he'll conduct prayer rallies in all 50 states next year to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and pray for the nation. 

Graham is calling it "Decision America Tour."

Graham announced the rallies on his Facebook page and said he hopes they point Christians both to prayer and public service. 

"America is in trouble," he waned. "At 62 years of age, I’ve lived long enough to learn that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can turn this country around; no political party or politician is the answer."

"The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ," he said.

"I want to encourage Christians to get out and vote and to cast their ballots for candidates who uphold biblical principles," he continued. "I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level -- local, state and federal."

Graham has not announced any specific cities or dates for the rallies. 

The 62-year-old son of famed evangelist Billy Graham serves as president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse, a relief organization based in Boone, North Carolina.
