Franklin Graham Meets Zelenskyy, Leads Prayer for Russia-Ukraine Peace at European Congress

Evangelist Franklin Graham met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Berlin during the European Congress on Evangelism, where he prayed for Zelenskyy, Russian President Vladimir Putin, and former U.S. President Donald Trump, seeking divine wisdom and a path to peace amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. Graham emphasized the complexity of the conflict and called on over 1,000 Christian leaders from 55 countries gathered at the congress to join in prayer for peace and guidance for the leaders involved. He highlighted the necessity of relying on God to resolve the war's challenges, underscoring the spiritual dimension of the crisis. Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for humanitarian aid provided by Samaritan’s Purse and support from the U.S. government and people. The meeting occurred against the backdrop of escalating military actions and increased international support for Ukraine, including Germany’s plans to help produce long-range missiles. Graham's message also included a broader call for bold, uncompromising evangelism in Europe as secularism increases, urging Christians to stand firm on the authority of the Bible.
