Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains from the United Kingdom and United States will offer emotional and spiritual care to those affected.

"We're heartbroken for the families that lost loved ones, and the many more who will carry the physical and emotional scars of this attack for the rest of their lives. The fact that many of the victims were young people adds to the grief of an already incomprehensible tragedy," said Jack Munday, international director of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team. "Please join us in prayer: for the families, for the wounded, and for the many first responders who are working in the midst of so much suffering."

Nigel Fawcett-Jones, who helps to guide the efforts of the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team in the United Kingdom, is in the area, and shared, "Often at times like this, we have a ministry of presence, just being with people, letting them know we're standing with them and supporting them."

airliftFranklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, appealed for prayer on his Facebook page: "Pray for Manchester. Our hearts go out to the families of at least 22 confirmed dead and the more than 50 people injured by this horrific act of terror. I'm sure we don't know all the details yet, but we know they need our prayers." (Screengrab: Memorial flowers in Manchester/via BillyGraham.org)
