Reverend Franklin Graham is overwhelmed by the destruction caused by the recent flooding in Louisiana, but he is grateful that Easter is drawing near because it would encourage his Christian brothers and sisters to lend a helping hand to those in need.
"The devastation is unreal. The news coverage has for the most part ended, but parts of Louisiana are standing under massive amounts of water. Some residents are calling it 'Little Katrina' because the damage is reminiscent to what Hurricane Katrina left behind where they live just a few years ago — thousands of homes have been flooded," he writes on his Facebook page.
His charitable organisation Samaritan's Purse is already on the ground with its disaster relief units. Their staff and volunteers have been working double time to help those victimised by the flooding regain normalcy in their lives.
"We need more Christian volunteers willing to roll up their sleeves to help clean the mud out of these homes, tear out the water damaged sheetrock, and sort through personal belongings to see what is salvageable. As we prepare to celebrate Easter, this is a fantastic opportunity for the church to be a testimony to the love and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ," Graham writes. "We are there to help in His Name. Pray for those who have lost so much."
Meanwhile, Graham also commented on the "March Madness" in America—the raging political battles within the Republican Party. "Just when you think you've seen it all, something new pops up. The Republicans are trying desperately to figure out how they can stop Donald J. Trump from getting the Republican nomination. Will there be a brokered convention? A contested convention? What are your thoughts?" Graham asked his readers.
Personally, what matters most to Graham is that at the end of the day, God will give Americans His choice for President of the United States.
