Franklin Graham bringing God Loves You Tidewater Tour to Baltimore region

Six-city tour will bring live music and a life-changing message of hope to Baltimore region on April 30

CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 4, 2023 — Franklin Graham is sharing a message of God’s love in six cities across Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina this spring, and he’s bringing an afternoon of music and hope to Timonium, Maryland, as part of the opening weekend of the tour. “This coastal area is a beautiful place with such a rich history, but like every area of our country, there are many people who don’t know God. So many are searching and struggling. I simply want them to know that God cares for them and has a plan for their lives,” said Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. “The world is changing so quickly—record inflation, bank failures, surges in violent crime, the crisis in Ukraine—the list goes on. So many people are anxious about the future and don’t know where to turn. We are coming to remind people there is Good News! God loves us, and He sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth to save us from our sins.” On April 30, Graham will bring the God Loves You Tidewater Tour to the Baltimore area. The festive, family-friendly event is free and everyone is invited to attend. Live music begins at 4:00 p.m. at the Maryland State Fairgrounds in Timonium. The tour is an outreach of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). Nearly 200 churches and pastors in the Tri-State area and over 825 churches across all three states are partnering with BGEA for the six-city outreach because they believe the hope of the Bible needs to be shared in the tidewater regions of the East Coast. “Here in the Baltimore area, the hurt and pain is evident in many communities. Drugs, violence, human trafficking and hopelessness reign. Many people are broken and they have lost all hope,” said Angel Núñez, senior pastor of Bilingual Christian Church in Baltimore. “It is precisely at this moment in our lives that we need a touch from God and to hear of His great love for us.”   One of the most influential bands in Christian music history, Newsboys, are joining the tour, and they will perform live at each event. Newsboys have had 33 No. 1 radio hits, four Grammy nominations and two American Music Award nominations. Marcos Witt is also performing live on the tour. He is one of the most iconic Spanish-speaking Christian music artists in the world and has received five Latin Grammys and two Billboard awards. Award-winning musician Dennis Agajanian, who has performed at Billy Graham’s and Franklin Graham’s evangelistic events for more than 45 years, will also be joining the tour.

Hundreds Come Home to Jesus in Maryland at God Loves You Tour David Rogers

Despite the unexpected cold weather, more than 9,000 people bundled up and came out Tuesday night to the third stop of the God Loves You Tidewater Tour in the Tri-state region of Elkton, Maryland.

“I want you to know that tonight you can come home to your Father in Heaven,” said Franklin Graham, whose message centered on the story of the prodigal son from Luke 15. “A lot of people are running. They are searching for purpose and meaning in their life.”

The words pierced Janette’s heart. The 35-year-old sat by herself in the crowded fairgrounds, listening to every word.

Only months before, doctors had told her that she was dying. While lying on her hospital bed, Janette had cried out for God to help her. And He did, giving her more time.

She knew God was real but still felt burdened by sin in her life.

“You can be forgiven. Your soul can be safe and secure in the hands of Almighty God,” said Franklin Graham . “Come tonight to Christ, and He’ll never leave you.”

As he gave the invitation, Janette stood. She was ready for God to lift her burden and asked Jesus Christ to be her Savior.

Lucy and her 14-year-old son David came together to volunteer on Tuesday night. After hearing about the tour at church, David signed up for the Christian Life and Witness Course so he could receive training to be a prayer volunteer.

“The church said they needed volunteers of all ages, and I wanted to be able to pray with others,” he said. By the end of the night, David was able to pray with several people who made decisions for Christ.

Lucy was thankful the tour had come to their small town of Elkton. She and her college-aged daughter had handed out fliers in their neighborhood and invited everyone they could to the event.

“I think what our nation really needs is a revival,” Lucy said. “Everybody is doing their part with a big event like this.”

“There are some here tonight who know there is something missing,” Franklin Graham shared.  “You have a vacuum, an emptiness; you’ve been searching all of your life.”

Sitting next to her sister in the crowd, Clara felt as if the words were meant just for her. She had felt empty inside for years and came to the event looking for answers.

“There is only One who can fill that vacuum, and it’s God. He made you and He loves you—He will fill that void if you come to His Son Jesus Christ in repentance and faith,” Franklin Graham said.

When the evangelist invited people to respond to Christ, Clara stood up along with her sister and hundreds more throughout the crowd.

Aishani, one of the prayer volunteers, shared with Clara: “God is your provider, your healer, your comforter. Only He can fill that void in you. Just call on Jesus.”

Holding Aishani’s hands, Clara prayed to commit her life to Christ. Next to them, her sister had made the same life-changing decision.

God’s love was the answer they had been looking for.

The 'God Loves You' tour could not come at a better moment in time," said Fred Caudle, senior pastor of The Church @ St. Charles in Waldorf, Maryland.

He adds, "People are searching for life, peace, and truth. The message that God loves you and has demonstrated His love for you on the cross of Jesus Christ offers hope and healing to our broken world."

Graham also made a stop in Timonium, MD.

"I thank God for all those who responded to the invitation to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. It's the best decision they will ever make," Graham wrote on Facebook.
