CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 20, 2019 /
Christian Newswire/ -- At a time when people across America are filled with uncertainty, Franklin Graham wants to offer a message of hope to people in the northeast region of the United States. He will also invite them to join him in prayer, asking God to heal the issues that are plaguing our country.
"Syracuse has one of the highest rates of poor mental health in all of New York. People are bound by depression, poverty and despair," said Jim Wolford, a pastor in upstate New York. "Syracuse needs a breakthrough and people need hope."
On May 30, Graham will bring the Decision America Northeast Tour to Syracuse. The festive, family-friendly event begins at 7:30 p.m. at Lakeview Amphitheater.
The tour is also visiting Portland, Maine, Burlington, Vt., Manchester, N.H., Springfield, Mass., East Providence, R.I. and Bridgeport, Conn.
"We need a spiritual revival--an awakening across this country," said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Graham will bring a message from God's Word each night.
"We all face crossroads in our lives--moments when we need to make important decisions," said Graham. "Through this event, people will have the opportunity to make a decision that can impact their lives not only now but for eternity."
Popular Grammy-nominated music artist Crowder is also traveling with Graham on the Northeast Tour and will be performing live at each event. Graham and Crowder just completed the Graham Tour in Australia where tens of thousands of people attended seven events in six cities.
The Decision America Northeast Tour is free and everyone is invited to attend.
Graham started Decision America in 2016 when he held events in all 50 state capitals. He continued to tour in 2017 by traveling to 11 cities across Tennessee and Texas. Then in 2018, he toured the west coast, visiting 17 cities in California, Oregon and Washington.
