"The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ." -Franklin Graham

On Tuesday night, Franklin Graham announced he will embark on a 50 state tour of the United States next year. He made the following announcement on his Facebook page (Photo via Billy Graham):

America is in trouble. At 62 years of age, I've lived long enough to learn that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can turn this country around; no political party or politician is the answer.

The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ.

Next year I am planning to travel to all 50 states to conduct prayer rallies - we are calling this the Decision America Tour. I want to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and to pray for our nation and its leaders. I want to encourage Christians to get out and vote, and to cast their ballots for candidates who uphold Biblical principles.

I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level - local, state, and federal. We will not be endorsing any political candidates, but I will be proclaiming the truth of God's Gospel in every state. More details will come later. I hope you will start praying with us now.
