Franklin Graham calls for ‘Special Day of Prayer’ to protect Trump from enemies

Evangelist Franklin Graham and 250 other Christian leaders are calling for a “Special Day of Prayer” to “protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide” President Trump.

Graham asked Christians to set aside time to lead their local congregations in praying for the president on Sunday.

“This is a critical time for America. We’re on the edge of a precipice. Time is short. We need to pray for God to intervene. We need to ask God to protect, strengthen, encourage, and guide the President,” he continued.

Graham, who is the son of the late prominent evangelist Billy Graham, is the president of the evangelical organization Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

He has long been an ardent supporter of the president, saying last November that he endorses Trump because he defends the Christian faith. 

Franklin Graham recently went after 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg for calling himself a “gay Christian,” saying that the Bible defines homosexuality as something for which to be repentant.
