Starting Monday, September 9, Christians from North Carolina’s coast to its Blue Ridge Mountains attended community-wide prayer meetings ahead of next month’s Decision America Tar Heel Tour.
These gatherings in eight North Carolina cities precede an evangelistic tour with Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and Samaritan’s Purse. Along with the presentation of the Gospel, Christian musical artists Jeremy Camp and Dennis Agajanian will lead powerful worship. The Decision America Tour runs October 1–13, with stops in Fayetteville, Greenville, Wilmington, Raleigh, Greensboro, Hickory, Charlotte and Asheville.
Wilmington, North Carolina, will host the tour’s first prayer meeting on September 9. In each city, Freddy Washington—former worship leader at The Brooklyn Tabernacle—will lead worship and prayer that many come to know Jesus in each city.
“The most critical thing you can do is pray, pray, pray,” said Franklin Graham. “The intercession of God’s people is crucial if we are to see a return to the Biblical faith of our fathers, the faith that has guided and sustained our country for so long.”
