Son of Billy Graham to hold prayer rally in Missouri

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The son of famous preacher Billy Graham will bring his Decision America Tour to the Missouri Capitol this May to hold a prayer rally. Franklin Graham will host the event and urge evangelicals to vote with faith and prayer on their minds.

“America’s attention is on this election year, but I do not believe Republicans or Democrats or any other party can turn this nation around—only God can,” said Graham, president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. “God hears the prayers of his people, so we’ll be calling on Christians in every state to pray fervently and faithfully for America.”

The tour will take place around the nation, with the tour starting Feb. 9 in Columbia, South Carolina and stopping at one city in each state up through the election. Jefferson City will be the 23rd stop.

Despite the political impetus the rally wants to instill, no political leaders will speak at any of the events and the event will not endorse any political campaigns or candidates.

WHAT:
Called Decision America Tour, the focus of these prayer rallies is to challenge Christians to pray for America and its leaders, and to live and promote biblical principles at home, in public and at the ballot box

WHERE:
Capitol South Steps
201 W. Capitol Ave.
Jefferson City, MO 65101

WHEN:
May 17,12:00 p.m.
