This message has such a wonderful meaning for me and Sharon! FGGAM is a Great Commission Ministry! Glory! I have said for years now, the greatest failure of the America Church in the last two decades, is in not carrying out The Great Commission! Look at us! Long-time Pastor Don Kimbro told me years ago, “The Church is not baptizing enough people and raising up mature Christians.” Only 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview! Barna Research. So many Churches across America are not baptizing many folks at all! So many Churches do not have strong children Sunday school programs, many are not raising up mature Christians! Look in the mirror!
Today I am blessed to preach at Ridgecrest Christian Church in Albuquerque at 11am! 5300 Eastern Ave. SE.
“I am eager to preach the Gospel.” —Romans 1:15
This message is from October of 2021……BUT! This message never grows old…..
Billy Graham never held a Crusade in Wales, yet the effects of his ministry were powerfully felt on a rainy Tuesday in the country’s capital of Cardiff.
More than 400 people gathered for the third stop of the U.K. Evangelism Summit, a movement to rally local believers in sharing the Gospel with urgency. Inside a hotel conference room, pastors and their spouses, worship leaders and others chatted excitedly, finishing off Welsh biscuits and tea.
After a year-and-a-half of COVID, political tensions and economic woes, they were more than ready to see each other and spur one another on in their walks with Christ.
While Billy Graham is best known for large-scale evangelistic events, his longtime assistant David Bruce said he always had a passion for the local church. That’s where Graham started his ministry post-graduation—as a pastor in Western Springs, Illinois—which instilled in him a heart for pastors and their congregations.
In fact, Graham’s Crusades wouldn’t have been as effective without local churches laying the groundwork and discipling new believers afterwards, said Bruce. It’s a model that continues today with Franklin Graham Festivals and Will Graham Celebrations. More Here
