The Man Who Led Billy Graham to Christ | Luke 1:50

What if one prayer you prayed today reached millions of people — long after you're gone? In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson tells the true story of Mordecai Ham, the traveling evangelist who led a 16-year-old farm boy named Billy to the Lord. That boy was Billy Graham — who went on to share the gospel with over 250 million people live, with more than two million known conversions. It all traces back to one faithful servant, on his knees in a hotel room, praying for souls he couldn't yet see. Luke 1:50 says God's mercy extends to those who fear Him from generation to generation. Mordecai Ham didn't know what God would do through that revival meeting in Charlotte. You don't know what God will do through yours either. Keep being faithful with the gifts you have. Text "DAILY" to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day.

How Billy Graham Led a President to Faith | The Fourth Great Awakening

On his deathbed, President Eisenhower looked at Billy Graham and asked: "Would you tell me again?" In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson shares the remarkable true story of how Billy Graham walked alongside Dwight D. Eisenhower — from the early days of his Presidency to his final hours at Walter Reed Army Hospital. At the heart of it all was the gospel: salvation by grace through faith in Christ alone, not by anything we can do for ourselves. This is what revival looks like up close. One faithful person, willing to share the gospel again and again, until a soul is ready. If you've ever wondered whether God can use you to reach someone important, this story is for you.

Could the Next Great Awakening Happen in Our Lifetime?

Could the next Great Awakening happen in our lifetime? History reminds us that the God who brought revival before is still at work today. In today's Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson introduces the Fourth Great Awakening and explains why many believers see God's hand at work through leaders like Billy Graham and the Jesus People Movement. Looking back isn't about celebrating history—it's about increasing our faith that God can bring revival again. As we continue praying through 2 Chronicles 7:14, may we be the people who humble ourselves, seek God's face, turn from our sin, and trust Him to do what only He can do. Revival begins with God's people, and each of us has a part to play. Text “DAILY” to 71093 to receive Daily Hope videos sent to your phone every day. Download the CP+ Spiritual Fitness App for more.
