CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 30, 2021 /Christian
Newswire/ -- Evangelist Will Graham will broadcast a special Good Friday
service on Friday afternoon, April 2, at 4 p.m. EDT, live from the Billy Graham
Library in Charlotte. He will be joined for the outreach by award-winning
Christian musical artist Aaron Shust.
"The cross is one of the most common symbols of the Christian faith. It seems
like everywhere you look, you'll see a cross," said Graham, "But what did Jesus
actually accomplish on the cross? What did His incredible suffering and
sacrifice do for mankind, and why does it still matter to you and me? I'll share
about what happened on the cross, and how it impacts eternity for each of us as
we call upon Jesus as Savior."
The livestream will be available at
WillGrahamLive.com, and on the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA)
YouTube channel. It can also be viewed on several BGEA-related Facebook
pages, including
Facebook.com/WillGraham4. The program will be available on-demand in the
days following the broadcast.
In addition to the original airing of the livestream, Graham's message will be
translated into American Sign Language and rebroadcast at 5 p.m. EDT on
Facebook.com/ASLbythelight.
Later in the evening, at 8 p.m. EDT, a Spanish-translated message by Graham will
air as part of a Good Friday service hosted by Christian music artist Marcos
Witt. This program will be available at
Facebook.com/pazcondios.net,
as well as many other online, radio and television outlets.
The Good Friday service will be Graham's eighth streaming event since the
pandemic forced his 2020 in-person evangelistic gatherings (called Celebrations)
to be postponed. His online outreaches thus far have garnered more than 1.5
million views from 78 countries. More than 4,500 have registered decisions for
Christ. As COVID restrictions ease, Graham is also planning multi-day
evangelistic outreaches in the coming months in Fairmont, West Virginia, Rapid
City, South Dakota, and Des Moines, Iowa, as well as London and Sudbury,
Ontario, Canada.
