Saying our nation is in trouble, Evangelist Franklin Graham has called on thousands of families, pastors and churches to join him for “Prayer March 2020”.
Graham announced the gathering on his twitter account in a video message. He said, –“I’m announcing today that on Sept. 26, I’m going to be in our nation’s capital to pray—& I hope thousands of families, pastors, & churches will join me! Our nation is in trouble, & we need God’s help. Make plans now to come for #PrayerMarch2020.”
Graham is the president of the Christian charity Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
He added….“Our only hope for this country is God.”
Jack Graham, the pastor of Prestonwood Baptist Church in Plano, Texas, responded to Franklin Graham’s tweet, saying, “… I will be there. I want to invite every Pastor and church in the SBC and all others who can to join us. Can you imagine thousands of believers praying together for our broken nation? Let’s do it!”
From noon to 2 p.m., believers will march from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol building covering 1.8 miles while praying for the nation during “extraordinary times.” That’s according to the event’s website.
Franklin Graham also said — “America is in trouble. It’s in distress. But we do have hope, and that hope is in Almighty God. And we need to pray now more than ever — more than we have ever done in our lives. Our communities are hurting. Our people are divided. And there’s fear and uncertainty all around us.”
