Delivered From His Breaking Point
Last month I recorded a special Gospel TV spot, which we ran nationwide on major networks as well as individual stations. We were also able to run it on Christmas Day, sharing the Good News that can bring hope and forgiveness—and change lives for eternity. Thank you for your support and prayers that made this possible.
Thousands of people have called our Billy Graham 24/7 Prayer Line since the spot aired—and we thank God for each person who is beginning 2025 with new life in Christ. We also know that many other seeds for the Gospel are planted and decisions are made by individuals who never call, but turn to God in repentance and faith. We thank Him for each one who has been “called into the fellowship of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:9, NKJV). Will you join us in lifting these new brothers and sisters up in prayer?
Thank you for your commitment to sharing the Gospel. We are grateful for your partnership.
May the Lord richly bless you,
Franklin Graham | President & CEO

Debbie dialed the number for the Billy Graham 24/7 Prayer Line on Christmas Day. As soon as our representative answered, she said, “I just prayed with Franklin on TV to accept Jesus.” The two talked about the magnitude of the decision Debbie had just made. Our team member used “Steps to Peace With God” to make sure she fully understood her new life in Jesus Christ and to help her find assurance that “having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise” (Ephesians 1:13, NKJV). Debbie shared that she already knows of a church she plans to attend, as well as a women’s Bible study she’s going to join. We praise God for changing Debbie’s life! Please pray for her and all those who have made decisions through this ministry.
Evelyn prayed to surrender her life to the Lord as she followed along with Franklin’s message in a Gospel spot. She wanted to talk to someone about her decision, so she called our prayer line. Our team member made sure she had a Bible to read right away and sent her some discipleship materials to help her grow closer to the Lord. Evelyn explained that she sometimes has to work on Sundays—but she plans to begin attending a local church any time she can. Our representative also encouraged her to tune in online when she’s unable to go in person, to tell her loved ones about her new faith, and to read God’s Word every single day. We give God all the glory for Evelyn’s new life in Him. Please pray that she will learn “to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called” (Ephesians 4:1, ESV).
Clyde listened to the Gospel spot on TV, but he wanted to talk to someone before he prayed to receive Jesus Christ. Our team member answered Clyde’s call and carefully explained the Good News, making sure he understood. Clyde made the decision to receive salvation and walk “in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 9:31, NKJV). After he prayed, he said he regularly watches Billy Graham Classic programs on television and then asked our representative to lift up his young granddaughter to the Lord in prayer for some health issues she is having. At the end of the call, Clyde’s heart was at peace and he was joyful because of his new decision to follow Jesus Christ.
Ray was deeply touched as he watched Franklin’s Gospel presentation on TV. He had never before understood the glorious truth about Jesus Christ—that “it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself ... having made peace through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:19–20, NKJV). Overwhelmed by the joy of his decision to follow the Lord, he called our prayer line. During his conversation with our representative, the two talked about the promise of the Holy Spirit, the importance of reading the Bible, and how he can grow though prayer and fellowship with other believers. Please pray for Ray as he walks daily with Jesus Christ.
