An estimated crowd of 6300 Christians gathered. We were just to the right rear of the bus near the right rear corner of the stage.
Franklin Graham admonished the Democrats and then the Republicans.
Franklin Graham leads the thousands of Christians in Prayer. And calls all Christians to Action, and to Register to Vote.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association was headquartered in Minnesota for over 50 years, and today we were back there for the 29th stop of the Decision America Tour. We had a great crowd! More than 6,300 people came to the Capitol lawn in St. Paul to pray for this country. God is the only hope for America, and we are going state by state asking Him to heal our land.

Franklin Graham, the President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse stopped by the Minnesota State Capitol Building to call people to prayer and to action.
He asked those assembled to pray for those in State Government to include the staff, Legislators, Justices, and the Governor of Minnesota Mark Dayton. Governor Dayton did not meet Graham as he arrived. In fact if politicians were there, they didn’t make themselves known.
Franklin Graham led the prayer rally in asking those assembled to ask out loud for God to forgive the sins we’ve individually committed.
Franklin Graham taught the assembled about what happened to Nehemiah in ancient Persia and Israel. Nehemiah had been a cupbearer to the King of Persia. He lamented to the King about how the Jews in Jerusalem were being oppressed by the surrounding people. He confessed his sins to God and asked for forgiveness. He asked the King if he could go back and rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Nehemiah was given letters from the King to be given authority to rebuild Jerusalem. Then Nehemiah assembled people from different walks of life and set them to work rebuilding and repairing, and setting the gates of Jerusalem. He was opposed by the Philistines (future Palestinians), Samaritans, and other national groups so his workers had to defend themselves with swords while they rebuilt the walls. Some might have thought that the task would take years, but they had completed the task of wall building and setting the gates in just 52 days. This is a model for successful grassroots organizing. In fact Wallbuilders.com was named after this story of Nehemiah.
Franklin Graham then encouraged people by reading off the Pledge to God and Country listed above.
It was inspiring that we were surrounded by thousands of like-minded Christians who needed to hear that God wants us to use our Faith in Jesus Christ to take back our country. We need to take back our country from those who have told Christians to compartmentalize their faith and to remain quiet when the Holy Spirit inside us is telling us to speak the Truth.
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 NIV
We have to trust in God to provide us a Godly Christian First Candidate. That candidate might not yet be visible yet, but God will provide, and we will know when that happens, because the Holy Spirit will let us know.
