I want to take my life and the time I have on this earth to try to tell others about Jesus, that Jesus Christ is God’s Son who took our sins to the Cross and shed His blood for our sins.

While I’m in Addis Ababa, for the #EncounteringGod Ethiopia Crusade with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association this weekend, Samaritan's Purse staff are also here working with churches to distribute Operation Christmas Child gift-filled shoeboxes to children. Our partner churches hold an event and trained volunteers share about God’s love, giving a clear presentation of the Gospel for the children—as well as many parents—who are in attendance. My son Edward Graham was with our team at a church here yesterday and the children were beyond excited about their boxes! A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who lovingly packs these shoeboxes, prays, and gives to make Operation Christmas Child possible.

Today in Addis Ababa we are holding the “Preach the Word” conference with 1,200 pastors gathering to hear Pastor Skip Heitzig teach. I was privileged to welcome them this morning and I pray that this will be a great encouragement to them. Thank you so much for coming, Skip.

This afternoon as I arrived in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, it meant so much to be greeted by a group of evangelical pastors and leaders who have been preparing and praying for God to work in a mighty way during the Encountering God Ethiopia Crusade coming up this weekend. I'll be preaching Saturday and Sunday at Meskel Square here in the capital city. Gates open at 1:00 and music begins at 3:00. Join me in praying that many will come to the Lord Jesus Christ in repentance and faith as the Gospel is proclaimed.
I am grateful for their passion for the Gospel and their heart to reach lost souls who need to know Jesus Christ as Savior! One pastor said that their city is known as the "political capital" of Africa, but it is his prayer that Addis Ababa will become the "spiritual capital" of this continent. Amen!

DJ Daniel, a 13-year-old from Texas who always wanted to be a law enforcement officer, was honored by President Donald J. Trump on Tuesday night before Congress and the world. DJ was diagnosed with brain cancer, has had 13 surgeries, and President Trump arranged for him to be made a Secret Service agent! He was so happy to hold up his new badge! Doctors gave DJ only 5 months to live more than 6 years ago. Praise God for every day of life! He told the media that none of us know when it’s going to be our last day, and he’s right. We need to know that we have trusted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord of our life! Would you pray for DJ today—and leave him an encouraging note in the comments below…
