Psalm 102: 18 GNT   For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,……everything got started in Him and finds its purpose in Him. Col 1:16 MSG WOW! Chew on that for awhile…….let that soak in……don’t move to quickly from this verse…….   Please pray for Gretchen and Brian as they return from Alaska today.

PRAISE GOD for the life of Billy!!!!!  

June 22, 2010

God has not reduced the opportunities He gives us to proclaim the Gospel.

The Apostle Paul thanked God for friends who were his “partners in spreading the Good News about Christ” (Philippians 1:5, NLT). That’s how I, along with Franklin, feel about you.

We are deeply grateful for your friendship, prayers, and support, and we praise God that through our partnership with you, the Good News keeps spreading!

For example, just days ago in Brazil, thousands made decisions for Christ during an evangelistic Crusade led by Franklin, two-thirds of them age 18 or younger. Only weeks before that, in a three-day My Hope outreach, at least 50,000 people across the Dominican Republic responded to the Gospel, and reports are still pouring in.

Following the earthquake in Haiti, coal mine explosion in West Virginia, and other disasters this year such as floods in Tennessee, our Rapid Response Team chaplains have comforted and prayed one-on-one with thousands of people (11,000 in Haiti alone), and as a result, many men and women whose lives were overwhelmed by hopelessness have now found the eternal hope that comes only through Jesus Christ.

And at the Billy Graham Library, visitors make personal decisions for Christ daily—every report fills my heart with joy. On a recent Monday, 49 people told our volunteers about praying to receive Christ after hearing the Gospel during their tour. Visitors come from all over the world, and I hope you will have opportunity to visit as well.

In recent months I have felt a growing desire to preach in person again, even if just one more time. It may not be possible with my health, but I have begun preparing a message should God give me strength and opportunity. Meanwhile today, approaching age 92, my main personal ministry is prayer. The Bible tells us that prayer is “powerful and effective” (James 5:16, NIV), and I invite you to be my co-worker in this.

We Need Your Support

Your financial gift will help us to boldly preach the Gospel around the world and in our own nation. Please send a generous gift today.

Paul once wrote to church friends that “there is a wide-open door for a great work here” (1 Corinthians 16:9, NLT), and those words are still true for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in 2010. Through six decades, God has not reduced the opportunities He gives us to proclaim the Gospel. We have more openings right now for large-scale, effective evangelistic ministry than resources to carry it all out.

Franklin is passionate for the Gospel, and the worldwide team he leads accomplishes more than seems humanly possible. This is only because of God’s blessing. We ask for your continued financial support, even this month if you are able, because God is accelerating our work rather than slowing it.

The result of your prayers and gifts is that people who once were lost now follow the Lord. “As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God” (2 Corinthians 9:13).

May God bless you in all the ways you serve Him.

Billy Graham

Please Pray with Me:

• Pray for my son Franklin and the BGEA team as they prepare for evangelistic Crusades in Latvia and Japan. These are not places where it is easy to proclaim the Gospel, but people there need Jesus.
• Pray that many young people will respond to the Gospel this summer during Rock the River Tour West, a series of youth-focused evangelistic events where Franklin will preach numerous times.
• Pray that God will continue to bless the Billy Graham Library as a ministry where lost people hear the Gospel and believers are encouraged in their faith.
• Pray for the upcoming My Hope World Evangelism Television project in the African nation of Malawi, as well as for less visible My Hope projects in four Asian nations where evangelism cannot be done so openly.
• Pray for God’s special wisdom for Franklin and the leadership team as they consider many opportunities for the Gospel in the months and years ahead.
• Pray that God will provide needed financial resources to take the Gospel to
• people He loves and wants to draw to Himself.

When I started  at KGCX in Sindey, Montana/Willliston, ND in 1979 one of my duties was to play Gospel music and Christian programs, like Billy’s Hour of Decision. (by the way the Hour of Decision airs on KKIM Sundays at 1:30pm)Billy has had a great impact on my life. I pray that I get to see him preach someday……..have only seen him on TV and of course heard him many times on radio!   God has not reduced the opportunities He has given us to proclaim the Gospel!!! I love that! I really believe that the Lord has INCREASED our opportunities to share the Gospel with others! Look at the DOORS the LORD has opened in Haiti! Please pray for Robert Montoya who is in Haiti at this time working with the people of this country that is in great need.   Let us go to the mailbag……..Thanks to you all for sharing……..It keeps us going…..I talked to a Christian news reporter yesterday and he said he was going to have to take some time off as all the scandals and bad news has just gotten him so down. We must continue to hold each other up. As I prepare the days news for NM News and Views there are days when I really have to pray extra hard for strength, peace and wisdom to get through the newscast……It goes back to what we talked about yesterday……do not get sucked into the darkness…….the companionship with other believers is so important..the Body of Christ must stick together and offer each other encouragement! So thank you for doing that for us!!! We Love you!!! I should add that my news reporter friend did not want his name mentioned…I get this a lot…….there are always so many unspoken prayer requests…….people wanting prayer but do not want their name used……Ed Moore taught me years ago to always pray for the unspoken prayer needs…….let us do that………Here’s the mailbag……..or should I say the mailbag of honey!!!    Dewey,  You should be pleased that we read your Daily
Cup with a Bible
at hand and joy in our hearts – you give us such good stuff.

I was thinking the other day about how the Santa Fe station(KKIM FM 94.7) became
available, and how
we were hoping to get a Christian station in our area.  Wow – God gave us
a wonderful
answer to our prayers.  We can’t thank you enough for what you do here.

In His service,
   Miki   Hey there, Dewey! Thanks for your inspirational thoughts each day!  I don’t drink coffee but I sure like the CUP!   Give our best to Pastor Jim and his family.  Our prayers are with them.  Won’t the family reunion be great?!!   Blessings… Robert Lewis    

Amen to that brother.  I was reading the first ten or eleven chapters of 1 Corinthians this morning and man the Word reminds me just how much more I need to press in to the Source.  How wicked the sin nature but how gracious the Lord is to give us the grace (strength) to overcome the flesh.

-Chuck

  Good morning my brother,   Great cup.  We are studying “Parables of Jesus” in our Sunday Morning Bible Fellowship Class.  Just finished the one yesterday of “Rich Man and Lazarus”.  How true we must be prepared to “check out” of this body and this planet at anytime.  We don’t know the day nor the hour either we go to stand before the judge or Jesus returns for his bride, “the church”.  In all things we must be prepared, but God’s word also calls us to be productive, and be about His business, as we patiently wait.  As we keep watch for the Master we must also continue to be working for Him.

  Men:  Below is a special prayer request from Jeneane Weaver for her mom.  I just talked to Jeneane and she said her mother’s elbow was also crushed.  They may postpone surgery tonight because of the swelling.  Please pray for Jeneane’s mom who is in extreme pain and of course for her Dad during this very tough time.   Thank you so much.   Leonard

Hello all.  I just got a call from my sister.  My mom fell out of a motor home in CO today and has a compound fracture in her wrist.  The bone is sticking out.  Yuck!  They transported her to the Longmont, CO hospital where we are sure she will have surgery sometime tonight. Pray for my dad, as he is having a really hard time.  Their motor home is also in the shop because they lost the electrical converter on it, and have no electricity.  

I also saw Bob Boyer today.  His son Bob is having a pretty rough time with the cemo.  He is doing radiation this week.  So be praying for him and his family as this continues.
Praise God, there were twelve couples at the new Love and Respect class last night.  Three of them are alumni.  How cool is that.  

Jeneane

Always be joyful. Never stop praying.

~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-17, NLT

Let us all be in prayer………

Lord, We pray for Billy Graham..we pray for the needs he mentions…….we pray Jeneane’s Mom……we pray for our fellow Christian news reporter who needs rest in YOU LORD……We pray for his spirit to be refreshed…….We pray Lord for all those unspoken needs…you know who they are and what the need is.YOU ARE OUR ALMIGHTY FATHER!!!!  We Give YOU all GLORY and HONOR!!! In the name of JESUS, Amen!

In the Love of Christ, Dewey Sharon and family
