Prepare Your Church
for the Decision America Tour
What is the Decision America Tour?
Because of the spiritual climate of our country, Franklin Graham is going to all 50 states to challenge Christians across our land to boldly live out their faith and to pray fervently and faithfully for our nation.At each stop, he will also proclaim the Gospel, which has the power to transform lives. As the body of Christ, we have the opportunity to stand together in our allegiance, not to a political party but to Almighty God.
Together, let’s pray:
- in repentance of our sins
- for revival in our own hearts communities and in our churches
- for our nation and its leaders
“I will proclaim Christ as ‘the way, the truth, and the life’ (John 14:6, NKJV). My hope isn’t in the Republican or Democratic party. It is in Christ alone,and I believe God’s people can make a difference by praying, voting, and engagingin their communities.” —Franklin Graham

Week 1: Encouragement to join the Decision America Tour Rally
You are the salt of the earth,but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.In the same way, let your light shine before others, sothat they may see your good works andgive glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:13-16, ESV)
