Franklin Graham’s ongoing Decision America Tour will roll across his home state of North Carolina this fall.
From October 1–13, the Decision America Tar Heel State Tour will make eight stops in Fayetteville, Greenville, Wilmington, Raleigh, Greensboro, Hickory, Charlotte and Asheville.
Billy Graham was born and raised in Charlotte, which is home to the Billy Graham Library and the headquarters of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). Before Mr. Graham passed away in February 2018, he spent many years in Montreat, North Carolina, just outside Asheville. That’s where Franklin Graham and his four siblings were raised.
“The work of BGEA has deep roots in North Carolina, and I am excited to have the opportunity to preach the Gospel in cities across the Tar Heel state,” Franklin Graham said.
The Decision America Tour has been traveling across the United States since the beginning of 2016, when Franklin Graham visited all 50 state capitals to lead Americans in prayer and call the nation back to God.
The final stop of the 2016 tour took place in Raleigh, North Carolina, where more than 14,000 people crowded the Capitol Grounds to pray together.
Since then, Franklin Graham has continued to travel to various regions of the country—most recently the Northeast—to tell people the Good News of Jesus Christ.
“There’s lots of religions in this world, but there’s only one Jesus,” he shared with thousands of people in Syracuse, New York, last month. “He gave you a soul, and it’s valuable because He paid for it with His blood.”
When dozens of upstate New Yorkers walked to the front of the venue to indicate making a decision for Christ, Franklin Graham led them in a prayer of repentance and faith. Then he reminded them they just got a fresh start.
