Evangelist Rev. Franklin Graham led thousands in prayer for victims and their families on Tuesday affected by the shooting in Orlando, Florida during one of his stops of his nationwide tour called 'Decision America'.
Graham, son of Rev. Billy Graham, led over 5,800 people in prayer outside the capitol in Springfield, Illinois.
“We began by standing together in prayer for the #OrlandoShooting victims, the medical teams caring for them, and those who are grieving lost loved ones after this horrific attack,” Graham wrote in a Facebook post. “We prayed for our country’s brokenness and we asked God to heal our nation.”
Graham is touring all 50 states “to hold prayer rallies, to preach the Gospel, and to challenge believers to take a stand and take action,” according to the Decision America Tour website. During the tour, he will be “urging Christians to vote, to live out their faith in every part of their lives, and to pray for our nation just as Nehemiah cried out to God to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem and restore hope to His people.”
