Fighting Fear: Devotions with Edward Graham

This week, On the Ground with Samaritan's Purse host Kristy Graham invites you to hear a special devotion from her husband, Edward Graham. Edward is the youngest son of Reverend Franklin Graham, and the Vise President of Operations at Samaritan's Purse. Edward opens the workday with a devotion, bringing encouragement through God’s word in a time of uncertainty and fear.

Edward begins the morning devotion by expressing gratitude for the men and women setting up the Emergency Field Hospital in Italy. He references a video featuring his father, Franklin Graham, talking about rushing emergency relief to Italy.

Listen as he thanks the staff, volunteers, and DART members for their dedication to go to the ends of the earth to help those in need. He lifts up prayer requests for the health of those serving in Italy and courage for our nation.

“God has delivered us before, and He’ll deliver us again.” – Edward Graham

Edward talks about his career as an Army Ranger, and how he handled times of fear while serving. Tune in as he recounts a story of when he was injured by an IED. He reminds listeners that being fearful is normal, but we must always cling to God’s truth. As Edward dives into Daniel 3:16, he focuses his message on the boldness of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego – encouraging staff to walk in boldness and strength.

Please partner with us in prayer for the boldness of the Church during times of fear, and lifting up our teams on the ground in Italy. Thank you for supporting Samaritan’s Purse with your prayers.
