After catastrophic wildfires claimed at least 30 lives and reduced thousands of structures to rubble in California, many people were left desperate and hopeless—without a place to call home. Next week, Franklin Graham will share a special message in Easter from the Ashes, filmed on the very ground where this deadly disaster swept through just a …
There was much rejoicing in Cochabamba, Bolivia, Saturday night as thousands of people stood up from their seats to publicly share their decision to follow Christ.

In a world that has become increasingly materialistic, Bolivia is no different. Many people there believe that if they only had more, their lives would be fulfilled.

PRAYING FOR WORLD LEADERS Dear Friend, Just a few weeks ago, I had the privilege of offering the invocation at President Donald J. Trump’s second inauguration in Washington, D.C.

Forty media outlets filled a conference room Friday morning in the heart of Ethiopia. Facing rows of TV cameras and reporters, Franklin Graham talked about his prior trips to the country and why he has returned to the capital of Addis Ababa. “We’ve been invited by the Ethiopian Council of Gospel Believers’ Churches,” he said. …
