Evangelist Franklin Graham to broadcast 'message of hope' from Israel on Easter Sunday
Grammy award-winning artist Michael W. Smith will join Graham during broadcast on Fox News.
Evangelist Franklin Graham preach “a timely message of hope from Israel” on broadcast networks across the country and around the world, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) announced in a press release March 25.
“In Israel there is a lot of grief and a lot of sorrow, but it’s not just in Israel. We see this all over the world, and many people are wondering, ‘Is there any hope?’” said Franklin Graham, BGEA president and CEO. “As we celebrate Easter we celebrate an empty tomb. We celebrate a risen Savior. This is the hope that we have.”
On March 31 at 12 p.m. ET, Fox News will air the new 30-minute program, which features a message from Graham, music from Grammy award-winning artist Michael W. Smith, including the world video premiere of his new song “Crimson Dust.”
“I think people are desperate,” said Smith during the program, “They tried to fill the void with all kinds of stuff. There’s nothing that fills it other than Jesus, and He’s the answer.”
