Help Hungry Hearts Find Christ in 2019

From the Calif. wildfires to Bangkok, Thailand, your prayers and financial support are needed. [From The Desk of Franklin Graham] [Franklin Graham]( Franklin Graham visits Paradise, Calif., on Dec. 24. [How You Can Pray This New Year]( Dear Friend, For many people 2019 will begin with excitement and a great sense of hope—and I pray that this is true for you now. But for many families in California, the year will start out in ruins and ashes. Less than two months ago, the state’s deadliest wildfire destroyed the town of Paradise, killed more than 80 people, and left tens of thousands homeless. Two days after the fires started, we deployed chaplains with the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team to California to comfort and pray with survivors and first responders. So far, we’ve encouraged and prayed with thousands of people affected by the disaster, and we plan to be there for months. The stories we are hearing are heartbreaking—but we are seeing God move in amazing ways. Three weeks from now, I’ll be in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand. Out of every 100 people who live in the city, 94 are Buddhist, four are Muslim, and less than two are Christians. Churches there have invited me to come preach the Gospel, and we count on your prayers. We are deeply grateful for your prayers and gifts—we could not carry out this work without you. Thank you for all you do in serving Christ and His Kingdom.
