CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 1, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- Over the last 12 years, millions around the world have heard the Gospel through My Hope, a ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. My Hope is set to launch an all-new 30-minute program entitled "Decisions" which will be accessible—free of charge—anywhere via television broadcast, internet streaming and DVD.
 
"Decisions" features a Gospel message from Franklin Graham, president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and looks at the lives of people of different ages and backgrounds who have heard the Gospel through Graham's 2016 Decision America Tour and made life-changing decisions to follow Christ.
 
"I've been talking to people about the importance of decisions. I see thousands of people faced with a choice… and I want [them] to know the truth," said Franklin Graham. "Any time you have a crowd of people, I can guarantee there will be somebody in that crowd that doesn't know Jesus Christ. So, every time I'm at the microphone I'm going to give the Gospel."
 
Through the Decision America Tour, Franklin Graham is holding prayer rallies in each state capital encouraging Christians to vote, to live out their faith in every part of their lives, and to pray for our nation. As the tour travels to all 50 states in 2016, Graham is presenting the simple truth of the Gospel—the hope found through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
 
"Decisions," the 2016 installment of the evangelistic films available from My Hope, follows in succession of previous films: "Value of a Soul" (2015); "Heaven" (2014); and "The Cross" (2013). Beginning Sept. 1, churches and individuals will be able to download the full program or view it at that time at www.MyHopewithBillyGraham.org. A free DVD version of "Decisions," including "A Time for Decision: Pray, Vote, Engage," a special 30-minute program that goes behind the scenes of the Decision America Tour, will also be available. Pre-orders are now being taken with shipment expected in early fall.
 
"Decisions," will also be shown as the Billy Graham television special airing on local and Christian networks beginning Oct. 10. Check local listings for airings in your area.

"We are very happy to offer this resource to the church which will powerfully present the Gospel of Jesus Christ," said Steve Rhoads, vice president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, who is responsible for My Hope globally. "The church in the United States has a unique opportunity at this moment to proclaim Jesus, who offers hope and redemption to a lost world. We pray that the good news will be preached and that God will bring a revival to His people."
