Franklin Graham: The No. 1 thing Most People Won’t Turn Down From Christians – (Charisma News) – Prayer is on of those things most people won’t turn down, even if they don’t fully believe. It’s the most powerful form of intervention we can use-and many are realizing now, more than ever, how necessary it is. Elections seem to heighten our awareness of how much needs fixing. “We’re on the verge, as Christians, of losing this nation. And the only hope is in God,” Franklin Graham said at the steps of the Colorado State Capitol in Denver recently. “We’re broken spiritually, we’re broken racially, economically and politically,” he added. “The greatest thing that we can do…is to pray.”[i]
AzusaNow2016: Racial Barriers are Crumbling as Ethnic Communities Come Together – AzusaNow is a stadium-sized prayer gathering in which many diverse ethnic communities will come together en mass to worship and celebrate the unifying power of Jesus Christ at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on April 9, 2016. Apostle Fred Berry of the Azusa Street Mission testifies, “AzusaNow is celebrating the legacy of William J. Seymour who broke the barrier on race relations in Los Angeles before Martin Luther King ever lived. He was a pioneer who led the first modern multicultural experiment.” Historically, on of the most startling evidences that the original 1906 Azusa Street Revival was a true move of God, was the profound sense of love and racial harmony that unexpectedly bonded African-Asian-Hispanic, and Anglo-Americans together during a deeply segregated period of American history. AzusaNow hopes to restore this rich legacy of Christian friendship and blessing by turning hearts toward one another as a counter-cultural response to the deepening trends of divisiveness and rancor in the ethnic, political and socio-economic spheres of our nation.[ii]
