Holding Fast to the ‘Centre of the Message’

“The church in Europe struggles with many things,” said Helge Dittmer—one of the more than 1,000 pastors, Christian leaders, and evangelists attending the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany. “The main problem is that we lose the centre of the message.” This pastor of over 20 years from Kiel, Germany, is not the only …

Will Graham Devotion: Lessons From Jonah’s Tumultuous Journey Across the Sea

Bible Reading: Jonah 1, NKJV We live in a sin-sick and dark world. This statement shouldn’t come as a surprise to you, especially if you’re reading it as a follower of Jesus Christ. All around us are people—from family to co-workers to celebrities—trying to push a sin-filled, post-Christian worldview. Sadly, many in our churches are also …

Newsletter: Thousands Give Their Lives to Christ in Ethiopia

Historic Gospel Outreach In the Horn of Africa Dear Friend, I recently returned from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s capital, where we saw God move in amazing ways through the two-day Encountering God evangelistic outreach.

Will Graham Devotion: Jesus Condemned, a Murderer Set Free

  Bible Reading: Matthew 27:15–18, 20–21, ESV Jesus stood on trial, facing not just the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate, but also an incited mob intent on “destroying” Him (Matthew 27:20). Meanwhile, somewhere in the bowels of the prison, a man named Barabbas sat and awaited his own execution at the hands of the government. Of the 31,000-plus verses …

320,000 Hear About God’s Forgiveness in Historic Ethiopia Outreach

As a young man, Pastor Ashebir Ketema was imprisoned for his faith in Ethiopia. For seven months, he endured beatings and attempted brainwashing by a communist government that was in power from 1974 to 1991. That period of persecution strengthened the small community of evangelicals as they came together, supported each other, and gradually grew …

The Joy of the Lord Overflows in Ethiopia’s Capital

Thousands of colourful umbrellas shielded people from the hot Ethiopian sun as the crowd pulsed with energy. They sang and danced—children, grandparents, and even the blue-vested ushers at the venue. Sixty-five years to the day that Billy Graham preached in Addis Ababa, Franklin Graham was back for the first day of Encountering God, an evangelistic …

Will Graham Devotion: How Do You Know What’s True?

  Bible Reading: John 8:31-32, ESV “What is truth?” This was the question that Pontius Pilate asked Jesus in John 18:38. It’s such a pivotal, eternity-altering question that I have this page marked in my Bible so I can find it immediately. Many believe that truth is relative—truth for you is not necessarily truth for me. …
