Franklin Graham Comes to the North State – Thousands Attend

It was a rock concert stage show for the Bible when a crowd of more than thousands of people from north state churches turned out to see Franklin Graham, the son of the famed evangelist Billy Graham on Sun., June 3.

According to Graham’s website, the north state was the last stop on Graham’s tour, an event the site said drew more than 9,000 people to the Shasta District Fairgrounds in Anderson to hear Graham speak. Graham’s “Decision America California Tour” lasted 17 days and covered 600 miles

At the opening of Graham’s presentation, he directed the audience to become involved in politics, and asked that everyone pray that candidates would find God.

Christian music star Jeremy Camp and his band rocked the crowed.  Graham’s message was that Democrats nor Republicans could our country out of its current mess; that only God could.
