Seattle Officers Honored at Special Dinner
The
Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (BG-RRT)
hosted a Law Enforcement Appreciation Dinner on May 11 in Seattle, Washington. Officers and their spouses were warmly welcomed by BG-RRT staff and chaplains.
A dinner to honor Portland-area law enforcement
was held on May 6.
Will Graham, executive director of the
Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove
and an associate evangelist with the
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
shared a greeting from his father, Franklin Graham.
Major League Baseball all-star Darryl Strawberry talked about how God rescued him from drug and sex addictions—and also the brokenness he carried around from being abused as a child.

Franklin Graham, who
posted about the event on Facebook
, said, “It is important for these men and women who sacrifice to serve their communities to know that we—and you—support them and stand behind them.” Officers and their spouses attending the event expressed their gratitude for the support and spiritual encouragement they received.
Dennis Agajanian ministers through music. He has been called the world’s fastest flatpicking guitar player and is known for his skill in instrumentals, bluegrass and Gospel music.
Former atheist-turned-apologist and best-selling author J. Warner Wallace encouraged the officers and their spouses. As a cold-case homicide investigator, Wallace became a Christ-follower at 35 after investigating the claims of the New Testament Gospels using his skill set as a detective.
Will Graham and Darryl Strawberry pray during the event. Please keep law enforcement officers in your prayers.
