New York Times Article - June 30
Imagine two organizations providing a variety of work, training, relief efforts and evangelism in more that 130 countries around the world, with 2006 combined assets of almost $600 Million and annual revenues of near $425 Million. Now just imagine leading these organizations - where most employees are really volunteers, customers don’t pay the cost of what they receive and ‘owners’ donate capital without expectation of personal financial return!
As the second generation leader of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and the current CEO of Samaritan’s Purse, Franklin follows in the foot steps of the 20th century’s most well known and inspirational evangelist, his father the Reverend Billy Graham. The Graham family has had an immeasurable impact on the spiritual shape of the United States and the world. Franklin has spoken at events including the inauguration of President Bush and the memorial service for the victims of the Columbine High School shootings. He has authored 8 books as well as appeared on many T.V. and radio programs including Larry King Live and Hannity and Combs. Franklin has a passion for his ministry and business.
Please join us for a ‘fireside chat’ with Franklin Graham! We promise you an informative event that will explore Franklin’s career, succession of leadership from his father to him, understanding the incredible work of both the Billy Graham Evangelical Association and Samaritan’s Purse.
Join us and learn how this organization with its global reach managed to encourage almost 4,000,000 people to make a decision for Jesus Christ in 2006, we are certain you will be challenged by learning about the extraordinary leadership issues of running two separate organizations. This event will surely challenge what you believe as you hear Franklin discuss his thoughts on today’s world as it relates to his ministry efforts. Regardless of your personal beliefs, Franklin’s leadership and world relief efforts can inspire all of us that great things are possible in all our lives and organizations.
