John Piper, Franklin Graham, Albert Mohler, George O. Wood, Russell Moore and many others show their deep sorrow, and ask Christians to “keep perspective.”

Preacher announced on his Facebook page that the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association will change banks after Well Fargo’s recent pro-lesbian advertising campaign.

The event gathered more than 25,000 people over two days. In a festive atmosphere, the gospel was preached, and more than 1,700 people made a decision for Christ.

Preacher said ISIS soldiers had merely been following the precepts of the Quran as they killed 21 Coptic Christians in Libya.

“Politicians are not going to be able to answer the questions that the world is facing today”, Graham told Evangelical Focus. The evangelist introduced Festival of Hope in Spain and talked about secularised European societies.

Franklin Graham talks to Evangelical Focus about the upcoming Festival of Hope in Barcelona, the impact of the gospel in secularized Europe and Barack Obama´s migration reform.
