Evangelist Franklin Graham took the stage at the Republican National Convention and didn’t shy away from sharing the gospel.
Graham stated, “God loves us, and he wants us to be with him in heaven one day, and that’s through faith in his son Jesus Christ.”
Graham then shared John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
Graham added, “Near-death experiences change people. I hope he kneels beside his bed every day and says ‘thank you God for giving me another day’.

He went off official script only one time before his prayer—to share the Gospel and John 3:16.

Per USA Today:
Franklin Graham took the lectern at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Thursday to discuss former President Trump’s commitment to religious beliefs.
Graham, the head of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, is a big name among evangelists and social conservatives. He spoke at Donald Trump’s inauguration in 2017.
The Republican National Convention is in Milwaukee through Thursday where former President Donald Trump on Thursday will formally accept the party’s nomination for the 2024 Election.

“When President Trump rose from that platform, he rose with his fist raised in strength, showing America his unshakable resolve to fight for them in this nation.

The evangelist Franklin Graham who was invited to speak and pray at the Republican National Congress last night, told a US TV interviewer that he believed God had saved Mr Trump’s life.
He said that “near-death experiences change people. I hope he kneels beside his bed every day and says ‘thank you God for giving me another day’. I believe God saved his life. It’s a God thing.”

Rev Graham who is also CEO of the charity Samaritan’s Purse went on to urge “Christians and people of faith” to vote and praised Trump’s stance on defending religious freedom.
“He did so much for people of faith last time. And in 2019 at the UN (United Nations) he took a stand for religious liberties worldwide, to defend where people would not be persecuted for their faith,” he said.
“No President has done that and I just applaud him.”
