Evangelist Franklin Graham Urges Prayers for Donald Trump by Promoting T-Shirt
Newsweek ^ | November 2, 2019 | Benjamin Fearnow

Posted on 11/03/2019 3:00:10 AM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Evangelist leader Franklin Graham called the impeachment inquiry of Donald Trump an "unjust inquisition," and claimed the Christian Bible directs Americans to pray for the president.

Graham, the president of Samaritan's Purse and his late father's Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, quoted the Bible Friday in a plea for Americans to purchase a "Pray for 45" T-shirt being sold through his organization's website. Earlier this week, Graham urged Christians to pray for God to give Trump "wisdom and protection" just hours after the House voted in favor of impeachment procedures.

The pro-Trump evangelical and his daughter, Cissie Graham Lynch, both promoted the $15.99 "Pray for 45" T-shirts on social media alongside Bible verses.

"The Bible instructs us to pray for our leaders &@realDonaldTrump needs our prayers. We have t-shirts that are a reminder to "PRAY for 45"—my daughter@CissieGLynch is wearing one. People have asked where they can get one. You can order them at this link," the elder Graham tweeted Friday, showing a picture of his daughter wearing the T-shirt.

I can’t bring myself to click on the link and give Newsweak a site hit. What a pathetic and wretched shadow of themselves they have become.

Who is receiving the profit from the t-shirt sales?

If it’s Franklin, I’ll bet it’s Samaritans Purse.

Probably Samaritan’s Purse. They do tremendous good for this country. When disaster hits, Hurricane, flood, tornado those big trucks roll in with basic needs.

The vendor site appears to be the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, but it could just be a pass-through. I didn’t click all the way to the order form.

President Donald J. Trump is our 45th president. The Bible instructs us to pray for our leaders, and this man needs our prayers as he tries to lead our country while being constantly attacked by the Washington swamp. We have t-shirts that are a reminder to “PRAY for 45”—my daughter Cissie Graham Lynch is wearing one in this photo. People have asked where they can get one. You can order them at this link: https://lp.billygraham.org/pray-for-45/

It’s being sold at Ruth’s Attic at the Billy GrahamBookstore as well as many other retail websites. Ruth’s Attic site says:
ALL PROCEEDS FROM RUTH’S ATTIC HELP SUPPORT WORLD WIDE EVANGELISM THROUGH THE BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION.

“Who is receiving the profit from the t-shirt sales?”

The ones who are selling it.

Thanks for this info.

Franklin Graham is a national treasure, as was his father.

But if the Dems come to full power ever, there is no doubt Franklin will likely face arrest for hate speech violations as will all those pastors who take a righteous stand politically.

The ultimate goal of the anti-God, anti-truth, American socialists/communists will be to silence and to punish those who dare to take a political stand and who are Christian leaders whether in the local church or on the national stage...like Franklin Graham.

Bless Franklin Graham and keep him safe and full volume on!

Franklin Graham is enriching himself, what else? /SARC

He’s trying to get rich from T-shirt sales. /SARC

He’s hoping God won’t notice. /SARC

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don’t tell God.

On this Veterans Day, he is looking down on us, encouraging us to uphold the Constitution or die trying.
