Franklin Graham has announced he will embark on a 50-state tour of the United States next year
A
merica is in trouble. At 62 years of age, I’ve lived long enough to learn that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can turn this country around; no political party or politician is the answer. The only hope for this country is Almighty God and His Son Jesus Christ. Next year I am planning to travel to all 50 states to conduct prayer rallies—we are calling this the Decision America Tour. I want to challenge Christians to boldly live out their faith and to pray for our nation and its leaders. I want to encourage Christians to get out and vote, and to cast their ballots for candidates who uphold biblical principles. I want to strongly urge Christians to run for public office at every level—local, state, and federal. We will not be endorsing any political candidates, but I will be proclaiming
the truth of God’s Gospel in every state. More details will come later. I hope you will start praying with us now.

CAMPAIGN NEWS: Reverend Charles Ingram has Endorsed Ben Hall in the 2015 Race for Mayor of Houston, Texas
A
nother Acres Home leader has announced his support for the Ben Hall for Mayor campaign. Rev. Charles Ingram, who has been a leader in the Acres Homes community for years, announced his personal endorsement of Ben Hall for Mayor. Ingram insisted that Hall was the best choice because, "He is independent enough to do the right thing and bring improvements, growth and businesses to the Acres Homes area that have been missing." He continued, "We need more than good speeches. We want to see a mayor who wants to help the entire com-
munity. I believe Ben Hall is that person. That is why I am supporting him!" Ben Hall said he is "humbled" by the outpouring of support he is receiving from all communities in the city. He likened Rev. Ingram and Dr. F. N. Williams Sr's endorsements as significant because they show that his candidacy is connecting with real problems that Houstonians have been facing for many years. "I am humbled by Rev. Ingram's brave endorsement and will work every day as mayor to continue to earn his support," Hall said.
