The six-city God Loves You Tidewater Tour with Franklin Graham wrapped up recently in Edenton, North Carolina, following four stops in Maryland and one in Virginia.It was a big event for this small town of 5,000 residents, drawing more than 7,600 people from the Albemarle Sound Region and beyond.Many enjoyed a meal from local food trucks before worshipping with Newsboys, Marcos Witt, and Dennis Agajanian.As Franklin Graham took the stage at the Tidewater Tour, people continued pouring into the American Legion Post 40 Fairgrounds with volunteers warmly welcoming them.“Is there an emptiness in your life?” asked Franklin Graham. “Is your life such a mess that you don’t know what to do or where to go?“Whatever the problem, I’m here tonight to tell you that Jesus Christ is the answer if you put your faith and trust in Him.”Shauna lives nearby and walked over to the venue just in time for his message, which offered her something she desperately needed.When Franklin Graham gave the invitation, she didn’t hesitate to pray and ask Christ to be her Savior. Afterwards, Debbie, a prayer counsellor, came alongside Shauna.Shauna shared how she was abused in the past and had contemplated suicide. But the Holy Spirit spoke to her through Sunday’s message, she said and gave her hope for the future.After they prayed together, Debbie connected Shauna with a local pastor to follow up with her and provide Biblical guidance as she starts her journey with Christ.Across the lawn, standing beside his parents, young Evan was also troubled and decided to give his heart and his burdens to Jesus.Tess, a prayer counsellor, spoke with Evan, noticing his sincerity and seriousness. Evan’s mother later shared that Evan lost his older brother to suicide.Tess told Evan’s mother how she, too, experienced a devastating loss at a young age. As she prayed with Evan, Tess asked God to give him comfort and peace.“He had tears in his eyes and so did I,” she said.ALSO READ: Billy Graham’s Home Now a Retreat Centre
