BillyGraham.TV | Franklin Graham - A Call For Help | July 29, 2025

(man) i didn't really have answers.
00:00:09.661 --> 00:00:13.132
I didn't really have no one to go to.
00:00:13.132 --> 00:00:17.069
I kind of get a little bit emotional.
00:00:17.102 --> 00:00:19.404
(man) we live in a more isolated society than ever before.
00:00:23.575 --> 00:00:27.346
They don't know where to go and what to do.
00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:30.449
You have no idea how to get out of it.
00:00:30.482 --> 00:00:33.852
(man) when people get desperate they do desperate things.
00:00:33.886 --> 00:00:37.356
And they seekin' help.
00:00:40.859 --> 00:00:44.596
(man) we knew people needed hope,
00:00:44.630 --> 00:00:46.665
But what do we do now?
00:00:46.698 --> 00:00:49.568
(graham) sometimes you just can't map it all out.
00:00:49.601 --> 00:00:53.472
If you try to sit back and figure it all out,
00:00:53.505 --> 00:00:55.874
You'll never get it figured out enough.
00:00:55.908 --> 00:00:59.344
You just have to start helping.
00:00:59.378 --> 00:01:00.646
(phone ringing)
00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:03.715
(indistinct conversations)
00:01:03.749 --> 00:01:11.590
(dripping)
00:01:14.893 --> 00:01:19.831
(overlapping newscasters) heightened states of emergency across the nation
00:01:19.865 --> 00:01:22.167
As coronavirus...
00:01:22.201 --> 00:01:23.368
-the coronavirus emergency in the u.s.
00:01:23.402 --> 00:01:25.537
The number of cases soaring...
00:01:25.571 --> 00:01:27.472
...elected officials taking extreme measures
00:01:27.506 --> 00:01:29.274
To keep people safe...
00:01:29.308 --> 00:01:30.509
...across the nation,
00:01:30.542 --> 00:01:31.577
Some hospitals bracing for a surge.
00:01:31.610 --> 00:01:33.245
Beds are filling with patients...
00:01:33.278 --> 00:01:35.347
(graham) i think in 2020
00:01:35.380 --> 00:01:38.250
We didn't fully understand covid.
00:01:38.283 --> 00:01:40.852
(man) we're heading in the wrong direction.
00:01:40.886 --> 00:01:42.521
(siren blares)
00:01:42.554 --> 00:01:43.589
(woman) america, be anxious.
00:01:43.622 --> 00:01:46.158
It was like
00:01:46.191 --> 00:01:47.693
A tidal wave coming,
00:01:47.726 --> 00:01:48.727
And nobody saw it coming.
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:50.562
(overlapping newscasters) this pandemic...
00:01:50.596 --> 00:01:51.563
...world like... like shutting down...
00:01:51.597 --> 00:01:53.165
...unseen danger...
00:01:53.198 --> 00:01:54.333
A mounting sense of anxiety and depression,
00:01:54.366 --> 00:01:57.202
(echoing) depression, depression...
00:01:57.236 --> 00:01:58.503
The daily death toll is also headed in the wrong direction.
00:01:58.537 --> 00:02:00.405
There is this overwhelming sense of danger
00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:02.841
And a helplessness.
00:02:02.874 --> 00:02:04.176
(woman) i was so scared.
00:02:04.209 --> 00:02:05.544
(man) they feared for their lives.
00:02:05.577 --> 00:02:07.946
(woman) some people were very desperate.
00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:09.848
They were on lockdown.
00:02:09.881 --> 00:02:11.183
They literally had no one to talk to.
00:02:11.216 --> 00:02:18.023
(graham) i was in savannah.
00:02:21.627 --> 00:02:23.996
I had a friend call me and he said,
00:02:24.029 --> 00:02:25.897
"franklin, have you thought about
00:02:25.931 --> 00:02:27.633
"putting the gospel on tv and doing it
00:02:27.666 --> 00:02:30.335
"in 60 seconds?
00:02:30.369 --> 00:02:32.371
"just a quick, how they can be saved,
00:02:32.404 --> 00:02:34.606
"how they can have their sins forgiven,
00:02:34.640 --> 00:02:36.975
"and pray a prayer with them?"
00:02:37.009 --> 00:02:39.344
I thought, "absolutely, we need to do that."
00:02:39.378 --> 00:02:42.881
I just thought there was an urgency.
00:02:42.914 --> 00:02:44.416
We need to do this and do it now.
00:02:44.449 --> 00:02:45.884
People were dying.
00:02:45.917 --> 00:02:48.287
This was serious.
00:02:48.320 --> 00:02:51.290
We didn't plan on this.
00:02:51.323 --> 00:02:52.591
We didn't foresee this.
00:02:52.624 --> 00:02:54.293
We weren't ready for it,
00:02:54.326 --> 00:02:56.228
But i think if you try to sit back and figure it all out
00:02:56.261 --> 00:02:59.931
You'll never get it figured out enough.
00:02:59.965 --> 00:03:01.767
You just have to get started.
00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:05.337
We took a room there in the hotel
00:03:05.370 --> 00:03:08.006
And we filmed the first gospel spot.
00:03:08.040 --> 00:03:10.309
(graham) let's just try it and see what it looks like.
00:03:10.342 --> 00:03:12.144
(director) ready to go.
00:03:12.177 --> 00:03:14.346
I'm franklin graham.
00:03:14.379 --> 00:03:16.114
Maybe your heart has been gripped by fear.
00:03:16.148 --> 00:03:18.617
(ferrara) franklin's desire was that the bgea could provide
00:03:18.650 --> 00:03:23.622
A 24/7 prayer line
00:03:23.655 --> 00:03:25.023
For anyone at any time to call.
00:03:25.057 --> 00:03:27.225
(graham) we did have a call center
00:03:27.259 --> 00:03:29.361
But it was not manned 24/7.
00:03:29.394 --> 00:03:32.164
(ferrara) we had to gear up
00:03:32.197 --> 00:03:33.298
To equip an army of phone workers.
00:03:33.332 --> 00:03:35.400
We have these 60 second gospel spots
00:03:35.434 --> 00:03:38.203
That we know we're starting within the week
00:03:38.236 --> 00:03:40.205
So we immediately began recruiting.
00:03:40.238 --> 00:03:42.140
(graham) it takes a team of people.
00:03:42.174 --> 00:03:43.675
You need somebody 24/7.
00:03:43.709 --> 00:03:46.244
We need to be
00:03:46.278 --> 00:03:47.145
Prepared to be remote.
00:03:47.179 --> 00:03:47.813
We've not ever
00:03:47.846 --> 00:03:48.714
Built a remote call center
00:03:48.747 --> 00:03:50.248
Across every time zone that we can.
00:03:50.282 --> 00:03:52.084
And so i think the question we had was,
00:03:52.117 --> 00:03:54.686
Is this something that is actually feasible?
00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:57.556
(graham) we were doing something we didn't know how to do it.
00:03:57.589 --> 00:04:02.294
We just did it.
00:04:02.327 --> 00:04:03.228
And then figured it out
00:04:03.261 --> 00:04:04.930
(chuckling) as we went down the road.
00:04:04.963 --> 00:04:06.732
And i think that's kind of...
00:04:06.765 --> 00:04:08.467
If that's my weakness, i don't know.
00:04:08.500 --> 00:04:11.970
Maybe it's a strength.
00:04:12.003 --> 00:04:13.739
We just started doing it.
00:04:13.772 --> 00:04:17.743
(siren blares)
00:04:17.776 --> 00:04:19.444
(overlapping newscasters) new york city mayor, bill de blasio,
00:04:19.478 --> 00:04:22.247
Closing all new york city public...
00:04:22.280 --> 00:04:23.849
Today, teachers begin classes completely on line.
00:04:23.882 --> 00:04:26.451
School administrators are...
00:04:26.485 --> 00:04:27.986
(ferrara) monday, march 23rd,
00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:29.554
Is a day i'll never forget.
00:04:29.588 --> 00:04:31.289
That was the day that franklin's gospel spots
00:04:31.323 --> 00:04:33.725
Were first aired.
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:34.960
It was all coming down to this:
00:04:34.993 --> 00:04:36.395
Would we be ready?
00:04:36.428 --> 00:04:38.697
(graham) hello, i'm franklin graham.
00:04:38.730 --> 00:04:41.566
Maybe your heart has been gripped by fear
00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:43.635
As millions of others have
00:04:43.668 --> 00:04:44.836
Because of the coronavirus pandemic.
00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:48.039
But i want you to know that god loves you,
00:04:48.073 --> 00:04:51.009
He made you,
00:04:51.042 --> 00:04:52.043
He created you.
00:04:52.077 --> 00:04:53.011
He knows everything
00:04:53.044 --> 00:04:54.246
About your life.
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:55.814
You don't need to be afraid.
00:04:55.847 --> 00:04:57.215
Jesus said, "i'll never
00:04:57.249 --> 00:04:58.550
"leave you, nor forsake you."
00:04:58.583 --> 00:05:00.018
If you've never invited
00:05:00.051 --> 00:05:01.620
Jesus christ into your heart,
00:05:01.653 --> 00:05:03.688
If you've never trusted him as your savior,
00:05:03.722 --> 00:05:06.091
You can pray right now to do that.
00:05:06.124 --> 00:05:09.294
Just simply say this prayer.
00:05:09.327 --> 00:05:11.029
(graham) i didn't know what the results would be.
00:05:11.062 --> 00:05:14.199
I wasn't expecting the earth to shake.
00:05:14.232 --> 00:05:17.035
I wasn't expecting
00:05:17.068 --> 00:05:18.737
The phone to ring off the hook.
00:05:18.770 --> 00:05:20.439
I just thought, "okay, we put it out there
00:05:20.472 --> 00:05:22.140
"to see what happens."
00:05:22.174 --> 00:05:23.141
(graham on television) ...in jesus' name.
00:05:23.175 --> 00:05:24.209
If you prayed that prayer,
00:05:24.242 --> 00:05:25.243
Call this number
00:05:25.277 --> 00:05:26.111
That's on the screen.
00:05:26.144 --> 00:05:26.878
Do it right now.
00:05:26.912 --> 00:05:27.612
We've got someone
00:05:27.646 --> 00:05:28.547
Who will pray with you,
00:05:28.580 --> 00:05:29.381
Talk with you, encourage you.
00:05:29.414 --> 00:05:31.416
God bless.
00:05:31.450 --> 00:05:33.218
♪
00:05:33.251 --> 00:05:37.589
(phones ringing)
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:43.028
Hello, thanks for calling the billy graham prayer line.
00:05:43.061 --> 00:05:46.331
You've reached the prayer line.
00:05:46.364 --> 00:05:47.532
How may i pray for you?
00:05:47.566 --> 00:05:48.600
(ferrara) we were blown out of the water
00:05:48.633 --> 00:05:50.569
With the response.
00:05:50.602 --> 00:05:51.837
(woman) i just remember the urgency.
00:05:51.870 --> 00:05:53.472
As soon as you end the call, it's just back to back to back.
00:05:53.505 --> 00:05:56.475
I said, "wow, in one minute
00:05:56.508 --> 00:05:58.376
"he was able to share the gospel,
00:05:58.410 --> 00:05:59.678
"and people are calling."
00:05:59.711 --> 00:06:02.414
(ferrara) our network of phone workers
00:06:02.447 --> 00:06:05.283
Are all across the country,
00:06:05.317 --> 00:06:06.751
Both in the building, and serving from their home.
00:06:06.785 --> 00:06:09.521
We come into your courts with a heart of, just, praise
00:06:09.554 --> 00:06:11.490
And thanksgiving, father.
00:06:11.523 --> 00:06:12.724
(multiple phones ringing)
00:06:12.757 --> 00:06:15.327
(man) and he's saying, "i gave my son
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:16.795
"to die on the cross for you,"
00:06:16.828 --> 00:06:18.029
And all you have to do is accept that and believe that
00:06:18.063 --> 00:06:21.199
And ask the lord to forgive you.
00:06:21.233 --> 00:06:23.802
And we pray that you will receive...
00:06:23.835 --> 00:06:25.470
(edwards) as the second 60 second gospel spot aired,
00:06:25.504 --> 00:06:27.672
And our call volume went up,
00:06:27.706 --> 00:06:29.374
And then it stayed up.
00:06:29.407 --> 00:06:30.775
And it stayed like this
00:06:30.809 --> 00:06:32.777
For hours after because people were trying to answer,
00:06:32.811 --> 00:06:35.714
And people were trying to get in touch
00:06:35.747 --> 00:06:37.415
And talk with somebody.
00:06:37.449 --> 00:06:39.484
We were getting 10,000 calls a day.
00:06:39.518 --> 00:06:43.955
(headen) it was non-stop.
00:06:43.989 --> 00:06:45.357
Calls was coming
00:06:45.390 --> 00:06:47.259
All day long.
00:06:47.292 --> 00:06:48.727
(graham) and that has been incredible.
00:06:48.760 --> 00:06:51.263
It's just something god did.
00:06:51.296 --> 00:06:53.832
Right, and how can i pray for you today?
00:06:53.865 --> 00:06:56.268
They're calling in to you.
00:06:56.301 --> 00:06:57.302
Like, they're looking for something.
00:06:57.335 --> 00:06:59.337
So most people,
00:06:59.371 --> 00:07:00.605
They're open to talking to you and to hearing from you.
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:03.708
Do you have any background with the church or...
00:07:03.742 --> 00:07:08.280
It was a time that people
00:07:08.313 --> 00:07:09.381
Really need prayer.
00:07:09.414 --> 00:07:11.182
People were afraid.
00:07:11.216 --> 00:07:13.351
I just especially remember calls
00:07:13.385 --> 00:07:15.654
From people in nursing homes.
00:07:15.687 --> 00:07:19.024
It was just so, helpless.
00:07:19.057 --> 00:07:21.259
They felt so miserable.
00:07:21.293 --> 00:07:23.028
They couldn't see their family members.
00:07:23.061 --> 00:07:25.163
They couldn't leave their rooms.
00:07:25.196 --> 00:07:27.465
(kilis) it was just, yeah, it was heartbreaking.
00:07:27.499 --> 00:07:30.802
(cooper) my father, being a person
00:07:34.506 --> 00:07:36.908
That's pretty much in control of things,
00:07:36.942 --> 00:07:38.476
Trying to be in control of things,
00:07:38.510 --> 00:07:40.478
When covid came around,
00:07:40.512 --> 00:07:41.646
He couldn't visit,
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:42.881
He couldn't have visitors.
00:07:42.914 --> 00:07:44.049
That just tore him apart.
00:07:44.082 --> 00:07:47.686
Before he died, my parents moved into
00:07:51.489 --> 00:07:54.726
A facility for retirees,
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:57.662
And he did not like it when he was there.
00:07:57.696 --> 00:08:00.098
"i'm locked in here with the covid.
00:08:00.131 --> 00:08:02.667
"i can't get out of here, i'm stuck here."
00:08:02.701 --> 00:08:05.103
I think that was his breaking point,
00:08:05.136 --> 00:08:07.105
Was during covid.
00:08:07.138 --> 00:08:09.040
He had a very complicated
00:08:12.611 --> 00:08:15.747
Personality.
00:08:15.780 --> 00:08:16.948
That was one of my brothers' descriptions when we were
00:08:16.982 --> 00:08:18.483
Planning for the funeral.
00:08:18.516 --> 00:08:19.517
They said he had a complicated personality,
00:08:19.551 --> 00:08:21.586
And he did, 'cause he had a hard life.
00:08:21.620 --> 00:08:24.289
During covid, my father was watching the news,
00:08:24.322 --> 00:08:27.459
As he always did.
00:08:27.492 --> 00:08:28.860
And, uhm, the 60 second spot came on.
00:08:28.893 --> 00:08:32.764
You may not know what the future holds.
00:08:32.797 --> 00:08:35.266
There's so much uncertainty in the world today,
00:08:35.300 --> 00:08:37.235
But i do know who holds that future,
00:08:37.268 --> 00:08:39.437
And that's god.
00:08:39.471 --> 00:08:40.639
He secured my future by sending his son jesus christ
00:08:40.672 --> 00:08:44.175
From heaven to this earth to take my sins...
00:08:44.209 --> 00:08:46.111
(cooper) my mother was in the other room...
00:08:46.144 --> 00:08:47.712
(graham on tv) god shed his blood...
00:08:47.746 --> 00:08:49.014
(cooper) ...and she heard him make a phone call.
00:08:49.047 --> 00:08:51.950
(graham on tv) if you prayed that prayer,
00:08:51.983 --> 00:08:53.318
Call that number right now, call it.
00:08:53.351 --> 00:08:56.087
Jesus said, "i'll never leave you nor forsake you."
00:08:56.121 --> 00:08:58.723
(cooper) my mother heard him on the phone
00:09:02.494 --> 00:09:05.497
And she heard his side of the conversation.
00:09:05.530 --> 00:09:09.200
He had called in response to
00:09:09.234 --> 00:09:11.903
The franklin graham commercial
00:09:11.936 --> 00:09:13.805
And she heard him say,
00:09:13.838 --> 00:09:16.141
"i've never had it explained to me that way."
00:09:16.174 --> 00:09:19.077
And he prayed the prayer for forgiveness.
00:09:19.110 --> 00:09:24.616
I was totally shocked when my mother told me
00:09:24.649 --> 00:09:30.689
That he made that phone call.
00:09:30.722 --> 00:09:32.724
He is not the type person who would make a phone call
00:09:32.757 --> 00:09:36.027
Like that to somebody,
00:09:36.061 --> 00:09:37.495
Especially a stranger.
00:09:37.529 --> 00:09:40.498
I got a text from my mother this morning.
00:09:40.532 --> 00:09:43.802
She knew i was going to be talking.
00:09:43.835 --> 00:09:46.171
It says, "he always believed in god and jesus
00:09:46.204 --> 00:09:50.241
"but never sure he was saved.
00:09:50.275 --> 00:09:52.310
"he had to earn it."
00:09:52.343 --> 00:09:53.978
That's what he thought-- he had to earn it.
00:09:54.012 --> 00:09:56.181
"then after the phone call
00:09:56.214 --> 00:09:57.949
"he understood it was a gift" (voice breaking)
00:09:57.982 --> 00:10:01.886
"from a loving savior.
00:10:01.920 --> 00:10:04.389
"and he then began a personal relationship with jesus."
00:10:04.422 --> 00:10:10.028
(graham) the holy spirit of god
00:10:10.061 --> 00:10:12.664
Takes the gospel
00:10:12.697 --> 00:10:14.466
And pierces the hearts of those that he's calling.
00:10:14.499 --> 00:10:16.668
How does it work?
00:10:16.701 --> 00:10:17.569
I don't know.
00:10:17.602 --> 00:10:18.536
But it works.
00:10:18.570 --> 00:10:19.671
We just have to be faithful
00:10:19.704 --> 00:10:21.106
To deliver it.
00:10:21.139 --> 00:10:22.507
As i've gotten older,
00:10:22.540 --> 00:10:25.477
It just really hits home with me
00:10:25.510 --> 00:10:30.215
When i realize that this was something
00:10:30.248 --> 00:10:32.016
So critical for my father's future.
00:10:32.050 --> 00:10:36.688
The future that he's living right now.
00:10:36.721 --> 00:10:41.059
(birds chirping)
00:10:44.429 --> 00:10:47.966
(newscaster) anger is on the rise and many are asking why.
00:10:47.999 --> 00:10:51.302
(yelling)
00:10:51.336 --> 00:10:53.037
(newscaster) according to a new poll,
00:10:53.071 --> 00:10:54.672
84% think that people are angrier
00:10:54.706 --> 00:10:56.775
Than the previous generation.
00:10:56.808 --> 00:10:59.043
(yelling and arguing)
00:10:59.077 --> 00:11:06.017
(edwards) as much as we want to always have nice people call us,
00:11:06.050 --> 00:11:10.421
Nice people reaching out and supporting us,
00:11:10.455 --> 00:11:12.690
That doesn't happen.
00:11:12.724 --> 00:11:13.925
(headen) with the prayer line some of the calls are not easy.
00:11:15.160 --> 00:11:18.029
But if you think it's going to be easy,
00:11:18.062 --> 00:11:19.864
Then, uh, maybe you shouldn't do this.
00:11:19.898 --> 00:11:23.501
(graham) anything you do in life,
00:11:23.535 --> 00:11:25.136
If it's worthwhile, is not gonna be easy, okay?
00:11:25.170 --> 00:11:29.207
Are there gonna be problems?
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.341
Sure there'll be problems.
00:11:30.375 --> 00:11:31.476
We're really kind of living in some uncharted waters.
00:11:32.577 --> 00:11:36.381
(edwards) you never know what's gonna come in on the other side,
00:11:36.414 --> 00:11:38.783
And frankly, the world is coming to you.
00:11:38.817 --> 00:11:43.388
(kilis) anything can happen.
00:11:43.421 --> 00:11:45.023
People just calling in just to yell at you.
00:11:45.056 --> 00:11:47.225
Kind of like hate calls.
00:11:47.258 --> 00:11:49.294
Just strange, strange calls coming in.
00:11:49.327 --> 00:11:53.431
(phone beeping)
00:11:53.464 --> 00:11:54.566
She's gone.
00:11:54.599 --> 00:11:56.234
She hung up.
00:11:56.267 --> 00:11:58.636
This caller had called in from california.
00:12:02.507 --> 00:12:07.212
He was yelling.
00:12:07.245 --> 00:12:08.346
He was screaming.
00:12:08.379 --> 00:12:09.714
And he was using curse words.
00:12:09.747 --> 00:12:12.784
My first response was: i want to hang up, honestly.
00:12:12.817 --> 00:12:17.255
He was bitter, he was ugly.
00:12:17.288 --> 00:12:19.457
(indistinct loud voice coming through phone)
00:12:19.490 --> 00:12:22.794
And he went on for a good two minutes.
00:12:22.827 --> 00:12:25.797
(voice on phone continues)
00:12:25.830 --> 00:12:28.299
I was taking notes... (chuckles)
00:12:28.333 --> 00:12:31.102
...as he was telling me little things about his life,
00:12:31.135 --> 00:12:33.905
Like he said, "i've got two sons at home."
00:12:33.938 --> 00:12:37.242
Eventually i was able to respond to him,
00:12:37.275 --> 00:12:40.445
"how can i pray for you today?"
00:12:40.478 --> 00:12:42.981
His response was,
00:12:43.014 --> 00:12:44.449
"it won't do any good because i'm agnostic."
00:12:44.482 --> 00:12:47.619
I said, "by the way, you said you've got two sons.
00:12:47.652 --> 00:12:50.255
"i've got two sons.
00:12:50.288 --> 00:12:51.422
"do you love your sons?"
00:12:51.456 --> 00:12:53.124
"well, of course i love them."
00:12:53.157 --> 00:12:55.627
I said, "well, you know, god's the same way.
00:12:55.660 --> 00:12:59.497
"he loves you and he wants to spend time with you,
00:12:59.530 --> 00:13:02.166
"but there's a problem between you and god.
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.203
"it's sin and it separates you from god.
00:13:05.236 --> 00:13:07.171
And i went into
00:13:07.205 --> 00:13:09.140
How he could have a relationship with jesus.
00:13:09.173 --> 00:13:13.378
First of all, he could have ended the conversation.
00:13:13.411 --> 00:13:17.015
He could've hung up.
00:13:17.048 --> 00:13:19.117
But for some reason, he listened.
00:13:19.150 --> 00:13:22.320
Then it was like a light began to come on in his mind.
00:13:22.353 --> 00:13:27.692
And by the end of the conversation,
00:13:27.725 --> 00:13:30.261
He said, "yeah, you can pray for me."
00:13:30.295 --> 00:13:33.464
Let's pray together.
00:13:33.498 --> 00:13:34.799
(praying) "these things have i spoken to you..."
00:13:34.832 --> 00:13:38.503
(echeverria) there's a lot about
00:13:38.536 --> 00:13:39.570
Answering these calls that are so amazing
00:13:39.604 --> 00:13:41.406
And so rewarding.
00:13:41.439 --> 00:13:44.742
I remember the very first call that i received.
00:13:44.776 --> 00:13:48.646
It was a lady who needed prayer.
00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:50.315
And it was about her being left by her husband.
00:13:50.348 --> 00:13:56.621
And tears started falling down my eyes because, i said,
00:13:56.654 --> 00:13:59.958
"oh, she's going through what i went through."
00:13:59.991 --> 00:14:04.462
I had a crisis in my life.
00:14:04.495 --> 00:14:08.199
My wife was unhappy with me and she left me.
00:14:08.232 --> 00:14:15.106
When i was going to work, a ups driver noticed
00:14:15.139 --> 00:14:18.409
That something was different about my demeanor.
00:14:18.443 --> 00:14:22.880
He said, "armando, what's going on?"
00:14:22.914 --> 00:14:25.249
I said, "my finances is collapsing.
00:14:25.283 --> 00:14:27.218
"my wife left me, she's unhappy with me."
00:14:27.251 --> 00:14:29.387
And he said, "armando, go home and pray
00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:34.792
"and ask god to come into your life."
00:14:34.826 --> 00:14:37.662
So i went home and i said,
00:14:37.695 --> 00:14:39.197
"god, i know that you're real.
00:14:39.230 --> 00:14:41.499
"if you take me to a point
00:14:41.532 --> 00:14:43.501
"where i lose my wife, so be it.
00:14:43.534 --> 00:14:45.603
"if you take me
00:14:45.636 --> 00:14:47.138
"to a point where i lose my finances, so be it,
00:14:47.171 --> 00:14:50.441
"but i just want you to be in charge of my life."
00:14:50.475 --> 00:14:55.346
And lo and behold, two weeks later,
00:14:55.380 --> 00:14:57.382
There was my wife, with tears in her eyes,
00:14:57.415 --> 00:14:59.984
And say, "i don't know what got into me.
00:15:00.018 --> 00:15:01.819
(shutter clicks)
00:15:01.853 --> 00:15:03.121
"would you forgive me?"
00:15:03.154 --> 00:15:04.322
I said, "yes, because god has
00:15:04.355 --> 00:15:06.924
"already forgiven me as well.
00:15:06.958 --> 00:15:09.127
"i accepted him as my lord and savior."
00:15:09.160 --> 00:15:12.563
Are you looking forward to seeing your sister again?
00:15:12.597 --> 00:15:15.433
Yeah.
00:15:15.466 --> 00:15:16.801
(echeverria) now we've been married for 44 years
00:15:16.834 --> 00:15:19.871
You're on vacation too. (chuckling)
00:15:19.904 --> 00:15:22.240
(echeverria) the very first call that i received,
00:15:22.273 --> 00:15:25.943
I don't know how i got done with that call.
00:15:25.977 --> 00:15:29.180
I know that conflict very well
00:15:29.213 --> 00:15:30.581
Because it happened to my family.
00:15:30.615 --> 00:15:32.683
I shared what i went through.
00:15:32.717 --> 00:15:34.585
I said, "my wife's still with me.
00:15:34.619 --> 00:15:36.220
"don't ever give up on god."
00:15:36.254 --> 00:15:38.890
And i was hooked.
00:15:38.923 --> 00:15:39.991
(echeverria on call) before jesus was...
00:15:40.024 --> 00:15:41.325
(echeverria) i began to realize
00:15:41.359 --> 00:15:42.827
That there's something that
00:15:42.860 --> 00:15:43.928
I can share with people
00:15:43.961 --> 00:15:45.296
And make a difference in their life.
00:15:45.329 --> 00:15:47.899
But i'm telling you
00:15:47.932 --> 00:15:48.900
That god is real, jesus is real.
00:15:48.933 --> 00:15:51.335
(graham) you never know the people that call our phone line.
00:15:51.369 --> 00:15:55.640
And so we just
00:15:55.673 --> 00:15:56.674
Thank god for these men and women
00:15:56.707 --> 00:15:58.476
Who answer these calls.
00:15:58.509 --> 00:15:59.710
It makes a difference.
00:15:59.744 --> 00:16:05.616
Okay.
00:16:08.820 --> 00:16:15.726
Okay.
00:16:18.963 --> 00:16:20.565
(tray) boy.
00:16:23.901 --> 00:16:25.169
Boy, boy, boy, boy.
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:31.242
It's amazing.
00:16:31.275 --> 00:16:35.079
I was just all over the place.
00:16:35.113 --> 00:16:38.282
I was chasing drugs, money, chasing women.
00:16:38.316 --> 00:16:43.221
I was just living a fast life.
00:16:43.254 --> 00:16:47.291
I hit this time where
00:16:47.325 --> 00:16:50.461
I was facing a lot of obstacles
00:16:50.495 --> 00:16:53.297
Where i was feeling alone.
00:16:53.331 --> 00:16:57.768
And as much as i was going out there,
00:16:57.802 --> 00:16:59.971
Still partying,
00:17:00.004 --> 00:17:01.105
Trying to pretend like everything was okay,
00:17:01.139 --> 00:17:03.374
Everything was really not.
00:17:03.407 --> 00:17:05.343
(door opens)
00:17:08.679 --> 00:17:10.481
(tray) it might seem like you're having fun,
00:17:10.515 --> 00:17:12.783
You're having a lot of enjoyment
00:17:12.817 --> 00:17:14.118
But when reality hits
00:17:14.152 --> 00:17:16.754
There was no purpose in it.
00:17:16.787 --> 00:17:19.524
And i didn't really have answers.
00:17:19.557 --> 00:17:24.262
I didn't really have no one to go to.
00:17:24.295 --> 00:17:28.232
I had problems and there was no solution.
00:17:28.266 --> 00:17:32.103
There was no hope.
00:17:32.136 --> 00:17:36.007
(graham) we want to reach people wherever they are.
00:17:36.040 --> 00:17:38.609
So we put the phone number out there.
00:17:38.643 --> 00:17:41.012
Anywhere, they see that number, hear that number,
00:17:41.045 --> 00:17:44.415
They can pick up a phone, (chuckles) and call.
00:17:44.448 --> 00:17:48.119
You never know how god is gonna use that
00:17:48.152 --> 00:17:49.754
To reach someone.
00:17:49.787 --> 00:17:50.755
One day i came across this sermon of billy graham.
00:17:54.358 --> 00:17:57.228
I think it was on youtube.
00:17:57.261 --> 00:17:59.163
(billy graham preaching) and the word was made flesh...
00:17:59.197 --> 00:18:01.165
(tray) i think it was random
00:18:01.199 --> 00:18:02.867
Because i didn't know who he was.
00:18:02.900 --> 00:18:04.735
(billy graham) the son of god...
00:18:04.769 --> 00:18:05.970
(tray) when i saw it, and i heard him start speaking,
00:18:06.003 --> 00:18:08.973
I knew that in that moment that he was speaking
00:18:09.006 --> 00:18:11.876
What i needed to hear.
00:18:11.909 --> 00:18:13.711
All of us are sinners,
00:18:13.744 --> 00:18:15.179
But jesus was tempted in every point like as we are.
00:18:15.213 --> 00:18:19.116
He went through every temptation
00:18:19.150 --> 00:18:20.251
You've ever been through.
00:18:20.284 --> 00:18:21.819
The way he teaches is firm.
00:18:21.852 --> 00:18:24.021
And his words was just overwhelming.
00:18:24.055 --> 00:18:27.425
(billy graham) god can now forgive you
00:18:27.458 --> 00:18:29.093
Of all your sins because jesus
00:18:29.126 --> 00:18:31.195
Had finished god's plan for your salvation.
00:18:31.229 --> 00:18:35.466
He said, "call this prayer line if you want to talk,
00:18:35.499 --> 00:18:39.270
"if you're going through any type of situation."
00:18:39.303 --> 00:18:41.205
If you have any questions about a relationship
00:18:41.239 --> 00:18:43.908
With jesus christ
00:18:43.941 --> 00:18:44.809
Why don't you just
00:18:44.842 --> 00:18:45.910
Call that number
00:18:45.943 --> 00:18:46.711
That is on the screen?
00:18:46.744 --> 00:18:47.912
There'll be someone there
00:18:47.945 --> 00:18:49.347
To talk with you, pray with you,
00:18:49.380 --> 00:18:50.815
And answer those questions.
00:18:50.848 --> 00:18:52.717
(tray) i knew that i had to pick up the phone.
00:18:52.750 --> 00:18:56.120
(phone ringing)
00:18:56.153 --> 00:18:58.022
Thank you for calling the billy graham prayer line.
00:19:01.459 --> 00:19:03.461
This is terri.
00:19:03.494 --> 00:19:04.428
How may i pray for you today?
00:19:04.462 --> 00:19:05.796
(smalls) when someone calls in and
00:19:05.830 --> 00:19:08.566
Wants to receive christ,
00:19:08.599 --> 00:19:09.867
That is so exciting.
00:19:09.900 --> 00:19:11.335
I'm all ears, just share with me what's on your heart.
00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:14.438
(smalls) i just want to make sure they understand
00:19:14.472 --> 00:19:16.641
The commitment that they're making.
00:19:16.674 --> 00:19:19.543
I was telling her that i want to give my life to god.
00:19:19.577 --> 00:19:23.614
It was very emotional.
00:19:23.648 --> 00:19:25.116
I was just crying.
00:19:25.149 --> 00:19:26.217
We talked about the sin in his life, you know,
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:28.819
But we also talked about, more importantly,
00:19:28.853 --> 00:19:32.189
That jesus christ went to the cross
00:19:32.223 --> 00:19:33.891
And took on the sins of the world.
00:19:33.924 --> 00:19:37.228
(tray) i knew that i needed the lord jesus christ.
00:19:37.261 --> 00:19:40.631
And i made the decision
00:19:40.665 --> 00:19:42.566
That i was going to give my life to him.
00:19:42.600 --> 00:19:46.270
(smalls on phone) i want to trust jesus christ...
00:19:46.304 --> 00:19:48.172
(tray repeating) i want to trust jesus christ...
00:19:48.205 --> 00:19:50.474
As my lord and savior.
00:19:50.508 --> 00:19:52.710
She told me the things that i needed to hear,
00:19:52.743 --> 00:19:54.745
You know, as a new believer,
00:19:54.779 --> 00:19:56.514
And i think that's very important because
00:19:56.547 --> 00:19:58.949
You want to build your foundation
00:19:58.983 --> 00:20:00.685
On something strong.
00:20:00.718 --> 00:20:05.122
It's been a year now, for me, and
00:20:05.156 --> 00:20:07.591
A year ago i would not be, you know, be talking
00:20:07.625 --> 00:20:10.828
About god, not be emotional about god,
00:20:10.861 --> 00:20:13.464
Not feel the joy about god,
00:20:13.497 --> 00:20:15.299
Not be talking about christ.
00:20:15.333 --> 00:20:16.434
And i thank him all the time.
00:20:16.467 --> 00:20:19.103
How can you not thank someone
00:20:19.136 --> 00:20:20.938
That did something like that for you?
00:20:20.971 --> 00:20:22.540
And it's just really amazing.
00:20:22.573 --> 00:20:27.712
That's, that's a great testimony.
00:20:31.449 --> 00:20:34.352
I'm glad he called.
00:20:34.385 --> 00:20:35.786
Are you saying that i spoke to him?
00:20:35.820 --> 00:20:39.890
I spoke to him? (voice breaking)
00:20:39.924 --> 00:20:42.326
(sniffs)
00:20:42.360 --> 00:20:44.528
I'm just thankful.
00:20:44.562 --> 00:20:46.664
I'm thankful that he's still serving god.
00:20:46.697 --> 00:20:52.636
I'm thankful that the lord chose me
00:20:52.670 --> 00:20:55.339
To speak to him that day.

(graham) well, as you've been watching maybe
00:23:35.900 --> 00:23:37.067
You've been saying to yourself,
00:23:37.101 --> 00:23:38.602
"i wish i could call the prayer line.
00:23:38.636 --> 00:23:40.771
"that's exactly what i need."
00:23:40.804 --> 00:23:42.406
Well, you can call
00:23:42.439 --> 00:23:43.240
That prayer line.
00:23:43.274 --> 00:23:44.208
First of all, i want you to
00:23:44.241 --> 00:23:45.476
Know that god loves you.
00:23:45.509 --> 00:23:46.710
That's right--he made you,
00:23:46.744 --> 00:23:47.845
He created you.
00:23:47.878 --> 00:23:49.647
He knows everything about you.
00:23:49.680 --> 00:23:51.949
But it's sin--your sins, my sins
00:23:51.982 --> 00:23:55.553
That separate us from god.
00:23:55.586 --> 00:23:57.688
And the bible says we've all
00:23:57.721 --> 00:23:58.722
Sinned and come short
00:23:58.756 --> 00:23:59.723
Of god's glory
00:23:59.757 --> 00:24:00.758
And that the wages--
00:24:00.791 --> 00:24:02.126
The penalty--of sin is death.
00:24:02.159 --> 00:24:05.262
But you see, the bible tells us
00:24:05.296 --> 00:24:06.931
That "god so loved the world
00:24:06.964 --> 00:24:09.166
"that he gave his only
00:24:09.199 --> 00:24:10.467
"begotten son that whosoever
00:24:10.501 --> 00:24:12.636
"believeth in him shouldn't
00:24:12.670 --> 00:24:14.038
"perish but should have
00:24:14.071 --> 00:24:15.773
"everlasting life."
00:24:15.806 --> 00:24:16.840
You see, god wants you to
00:24:16.874 --> 00:24:17.942
Have everlasting life
00:24:17.975 --> 00:24:19.009
With him in heaven.
00:24:19.043 --> 00:24:20.678
But you have to confess
00:24:20.711 --> 00:24:22.513
Your sins and repent.
00:24:22.546 --> 00:24:23.781
Repent means to turn,
00:24:23.814 --> 00:24:25.049
To leave your sins.
00:24:25.082 --> 00:24:26.951
You've got to be willing to turn, repentance.
00:24:26.984 --> 00:24:29.920
And then by faith to believe.
00:24:29.954 --> 00:24:32.289
Just by faith, to believe on the name of jesus christ
00:24:32.323 --> 00:24:36.727
And trust him as your savior.
00:24:36.760 --> 00:24:38.128
Invite him to come into your heart.
00:24:38.162 --> 00:24:39.697

00:24:49.607 --> 00:24:52.543
I believe that he took my sins to the cross
00:24:52.576 --> 00:24:54.778
And he died and he shed his blood for me.
00:24:54.812 --> 00:24:57.881
I want to turn from my sins.
00:24:57.915 --> 00:24:59.817

Hi, thank you for calling the billy graham prayer line.
00:27:05.843 --> 00:27:08.245
(graham) this prayer line is incredible.
00:27:08.278 --> 00:27:10.314
You will have an opportunity
00:27:10.347 --> 00:27:11.515
To talk to people you would never imagine.
00:27:11.548 --> 00:27:14.084
Amen, thank god.
00:27:14.118 --> 00:27:15.652
(smalls) the billy graham ministry trains us.
00:27:15.686 --> 00:27:18.155
They train us in biblical teaching.
00:27:18.188 --> 00:27:20.924
All that it takes is just opening an app,
00:27:20.958 --> 00:27:23.494
Downloading it and a willing heart, just to share.
00:27:23.527 --> 00:27:26.463
(woman) it's convenient because it's at home.
00:27:26.497 --> 00:27:28.532
I can concentrate on the caller.
00:27:28.565 --> 00:27:32.202
And he's waiting there for us.
00:27:32.236 --> 00:27:34.705
Loving heavenly father...
00:27:34.738 --> 00:27:36.373
(man) you're brought in such an urgent need.
00:27:36.406 --> 00:27:38.542
You are giving the best gift to them.
00:27:38.575 --> 00:27:41.011
That is the lord jesus christ.
00:27:41.044 --> 00:27:43.280
(echeverria) every call that you get is a divine appointment.
00:27:43.313 --> 00:27:45.749
Nothing is ever an accident.
00:27:45.783 --> 00:27:47.718
(woman) we know there are a lot of people
00:27:47.751 --> 00:27:49.319
Out there really hurting.
00:27:49.353 --> 00:27:50.721
It truly is a frontlines ministry.
00:27:50.754 --> 00:27:52.923
(man) there really is an impact in this.
00:27:52.956 --> 00:27:54.458
You're really seeing souls transformed
00:27:54.491 --> 00:27:56.393
From the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light.
00:27:56.426 --> 00:27:58.428
It's such a privilege and it is tremendous fun.
00:27:58.462 --> 00:28:01.331
(man) the harvest is huge
00:28:01.365 --> 00:28:02.933
But the laborers are few
00:28:02.966 --> 00:28:04.034
So we need more laborers.
00:28:04.067 --> 00:28:06.236
Pray that the lord
00:28:06.270 --> 00:28:07.171
Sends laborers for the harvest.
00:28:07.204 --> 00:28:08.806
(graham) we need your help,
00:28:08.839 --> 00:28:10.774
We need your participation.
00:28:10.808 --> 00:28:11.942
Be a part of this
00:28:11.975 --> 00:28:13.076
And god will use you
00:28:13.110 --> 00:28:14.011
To be that conduit to reach
00:28:14.044 --> 00:28:15.879
That person for christ.
00:28:15.913 --> 00:28:17.414
So be a part of it.
00:28:17.447 --> 00:28:18.816
God bless you.
00:28:18.849 --> 00:28:26.924
