Billy Graham TV Special Features Classic Sermon, Powerful Testimonies; Airs in Cities Across the Nation, Sept. 8-16
CHARLOTTE, N.C., September 4, 2007 --
In October 1979, Billy Graham preached to more than 50,000 people during a five-day Crusade in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Mr. Graham's message focused on the biblical story of Zacchaeus and what stands in our way of having a relationship with Jesus Christ.
"Zacchaeus had obstacles to getting to Jesus," Graham shared from the pulpit at the Halifax Metro Centre. "Many of you would like to know Jesus, but you too face many obstacles. Come to the cross and bring those secrets of your heart and lay them before Him and say, Lord, here they are. I surrender"
Still relevant to today's culture, Graham's message to Halifax will reach thousands more this month as part of The Billy Graham Television Special to air in cities across the United States, September 8 - 16.
The program includes the powerful testimonies of international Christian music artist, Michael O'Brien, and his wife, Heidi, who saw God change their marriage and remove walls of hopelessness and destruction in their relationship. The Television Special also features testimonies from former NFL star Derwin Gray, as well as Karen Reagle, a mother who was able to break free from the addictions that were holding her from experiencing the life and love God had for her.
The Billy Graham Television Special also includes the music video for "Let There Be Light" by Michael O'Brien, as well as a world premiere music video from Anthony Evans.
The program is presented by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Local dates, times and stations for the program can be found at www.billygraham.org/tv.
