Since 1989, Graham has been walking faithfully in the footsteps of his trailblazing father, Billy Graham, preaching the good news around the world.
Over those three decades, Graham has proclaimed the good news in all 50 states and more than 50 countries. In recent years, he launched Decision America, speaking in state capitols and calling on people to pray and engage civically.
This time around he’s been staying close to home. Working alongside local pastors, churches, and volunteers, the God Loves You Tour boldly shares the name of Jesus to simply encourage people with the news that God loves them and sent his son Jesus to earth to pay the penalty for sin.
