Igniting a Gospel Fire in Europe’s Darkness Dear Friend, In just a few short weeks, we are convening the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to host pastors, evangelists, and Christian leaders for this time of Biblical teaching and fellowship. The congress isn’t just timely—it is urgently needed. …
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 …
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.

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.

HELP GROUNDBREAKING MINISTRY IN VIETNAM AND LAOS Dear Friend, I have just returned from historic Gospel outreaches in Southeast Asia.

HELP EQUIP NEW BELIEVERS WITH GOD’S WORD Dear Friend, You are helping reach men, women, and children everywhere with the Good News of Jesus Christ, and we thank God for you. As we prepare for Christmas and look ahead to a new year, the world is filled with as much uncertainty and suffering as it …
Bible Reading: Ecclesiastes 7:10, NKJV We all have holiday traditions that are very important to us. For many years, the extended Graham family would gather at the Billy Graham Training Centre at The Cove in Asheville, North Carolina, for Thanksgiving.
