Billy Graham Presents My Hope America Meeting

Billy Graham is calling Christians in the state of Florida to pray and prepare for My Hope America, a new nationwide evangelistic outreach, which will include a new message from Graham in November 2013—the month he turns 95. My Hope America with Billy Grahamis designed to help people share the Gospel in a comfortable environment with family, friends and neighbors.

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is joining with local churches to host informational meetings across the state in the coming weeks. A meeting is scheduled April 23 from 6:30 to 9:30  p.m. at Christ Community Church, 6202 N. Himes Ave., Tampa.

The events consist of vision sessions, where participants can learn more about the project and receive key materials, and discipleship overviews, helping them learn how to make the most of this opportunity in their churches and community. These resources have been used for more than 60 years as part of the Billy Graham Crusades. 

“Already we have begun connecting with pastors, churches and individual Christians urging them to get involved,” said Preston Parrish, vice president of My Hope America with Billy Graham. “We’re asking them to start praying. As they do that they’ll find that God will give them unexpected opportunities to demonstrate His love and to share how He has changed their personal lives.”

The sessions are free; however, participants are encouraged to RSVP by calling 1-877-7MY-HOPE as space is limited.
