Right now heart and mind are centered on the upcoming Billy Graham crusade in New York City and the U. S. Congress on Evangelism, which convenes in Minneapolis next September.

What happens in the next twelve months may determine the direction of America for generations to come. Let’s be sure we all do our part to turn things in the right direction.
