Dear Friend,
It has been seven years since God called my father home—but He is still using his sermons to call people from all walks of life to Himself. I am so thankful for every person who responds to the Gospel of Jesus Christ after watching or listening to our Billy Graham Classics on TV, radio, or the internet.
None of this life-changing work would be possible without committed believers like you. You are helping share the simple truth of the Gospel: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16, NKJV). Thank you for your heart to share God’s love.
May the Lord richly bless you,
Franklin Graham
President & CEO
‘A Different Kind of Service’
Wyatt called the Billy Graham 24/7 Prayer Line on New Year’s Eve. The young man had just watched a Billy Graham Classic program and the Holy Spirit was working in his heart. He explained to our representative that he was leaving for military service in February, and he wanted to get right with the Lord before then. Our team member listened as Wyatt prayed to receive Jesus Christ in repentance and faith. Before hanging up, we sent Wyatt discipleship materials so he can grow in his new faith. Will you pray that he will find “blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation” (Psalm 24:5, ESV) as he follows Christ?
‘Can We Do That Now?’
Steven called our prayer line from the car. He was driving when he listened to a Billy Graham sermon on our SiriusXM satellite radio channel. He talked to our team member for a few moments, who then asked him if he had ever prayed to receive Jesus Christ. “No,” Steven said. “Can we do that now?” Our representative used “Steps to Peace With God” to explain the Gospel to him and then he prayed to surrender his life to the Lord. Our team member congratulated Steven and encouraged him to tell someone he trusts at the church he’s been attending. Will you pray that God will give Steven “the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him” (Ephesians 1:17, ESV)?
A Mobile Hotspot Helped Change Eternity
Joseph lives in a very rural area, with limited access to media. Using his smartphone, he told one of our prayer line team members that he uses his mobile hot spot to listen to Billy Graham sermons on YouTube every day—and now he wanted to receive Jesus Christ. Our representative listened as Joseph prayed to place his “faith in the Son of God, who loved [us] and gave Himself for [us]” (Galatians 2:20, NKJV). Afterward, the two prayed together that the Lord would guide him in his new faith and they read Bible verses together. We also sent Joseph discipleship materials so he can deepen his relationship with Jesus. Please pray for this new brother in the Lord.
Washed in the Blood of Jesus
Don was weighed down by what he called mental struggles when he saw a Billy Graham Classic program. He decided to call the prayer line and talk to one of our associates. When he asked Don if he had a relationship with the Lord, he said he didn’t think he did. They continued to chat, and Don shared that guilt had kept him from placing his faith in God. Our team member explained the grace of Jesus Christ and that “if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9, ESV). The Holy Spirit worked in Don’s heart, and he realized the freedom and peace found only through a relationship with Christ. Don prayed to repent and receive Him. After praying, he told our team member he planned to attend church the very next day! Will you pray for this new brother in the Lord?
Mother and Son Discover God’s Love
Alyssa* and her young son Oliver* watched one of our Classic programs and then called the prayer line together. Both were eager to respond to the message that they had heard: “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God” (1 John 3:1, ESV). Alyssa and Oliver each prayed to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. Oliver cried as he placed his faith and trust in the Lord. We praise God for both of these new believers! Our team member prayed over the mother and son, asking God to bless them as they follow Him. Will you lift them up in prayer to the Lord too?

Burdens Lifted and Chains Broken
Zoey has battled addiction for decades. She recently watched a Billy Graham Classic program and picked up the phone to call our prayer line. Our team member listened compassionately as Zoey explained that she had walked away from the Lord 30 years earlier—but now she wanted to “repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord” (Acts 3:19–20, ESV). She prayed a heartfelt prayer of repentance and surrender, and then she and our representative discussed practical, Biblical ways that she can begin overcoming her addictions. Before their call ended, Zoey shared how happy and thankful she was to talk to someone about her struggles and her decision to follow the Lord. Please join us in praying for Zoey.
