Change your life by making a decision for Christ, says Franklin Graham

One decision can "change your life forever" according to a new film from Billy Graham being made available free as a new Christian evangelistic tool.

The 30-minute Decisions video features a Gospel message from Franklin Graham, president and chief executive of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

It reports the stories of just a few of the people who turned to Christ during the 2016 Decision America Tour.

"I've been talking to people about the importance of decisions. I see thousands of people faced with a choice… and I want [them] to know the truth," says Franklin Graham. "Any time you have a crowd of people, I can guarantee there will be somebody in that crowd that doesn't know Jesus Christ. So, every time I'm at the microphone I'm going to give the Gospel."

On the tour, Graham is holding prayer rallies in each state capital encouraging Christians to vote, to live out their faith in every part of their lives and to pray for the nation.

He is visiting all 50 US states to present nationwide the hope found through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

The new film will be shown on local and Christian networks beginning in the second week of October.

"We are very happy to offer this resource to the church which will powerfully present the Gospel of Jesus Christ," said Steve Rhoads, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association vice-president, who is responsible for the My Hope campaign. "The church in the United States has a unique opportunity at this moment to proclaim Jesus, who offers hope and redemption to a lost world. We pray that the good news will be preached and that God will bring a revival to His people."

Since 2002, My Hope has been implemented in 60 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. More than 305,000 churches and 4 million individuals have taken part and more than 10 million salvation and rededication decisions for Jesus Christ have been recorded.

Another new film, The Worth of a Soul, will be released later this year in the UK.

In a syndicated column in the Kansas City Star, Billy Graham wrote this week: "Many people wilfully refuse to think about eternity or what will happen to them when they die. One reason is because they simply want to live for the moment, enjoying its pleasures or wrapped up in their daily cares. They also may sense that their lives will have to change if they begin thinking seriously about God and eternity, and they don't want this to happen."
