Primal prayer
Monday, April 18th, 2005“How are you?” I said, not really expecting a reply. All my neighbor Morris ever did was grunt at me. From “Loving New Yorkers Through Prayer,” by Diana’s uncle, Roger McPhail, in Decision magazine here.
Billy Graham to New York Youth: “Get Real”
Wednesday, March 23rd, 2005Answer: 5 million. Question: How many young people under 19 live in metro New York? Answer: A reality check. Question: How are they going to have a credible opportunity to attend the Greater New York Billy Graham Crusade? Yes, the Youth Committee for the Crusade and the local pastors that appointed us need a reality [...]
A surreal life — breaking news — please pray
Monday, March 21st, 2005Last month was Square One. Today was Day One. Last Thursday, the Greater New York Billy Graham Crusade offered me a three-month retainer to direct the Get Real youth campaign as part of the June crusade. (More on Get Real in a future post.) What an opportunity! In an earlier post I wrote about Billy [...]
Viva la revolution! – Part 2: the Mobilization Strategy
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2005So my original report from Square One promised a follow-up post with next step instructions. Here goes. 1. Grow the army. To the extent we’re serious about giving 5 million young people in the Greater New York area a credible opportunity to attend Billy Graham’s “Get Real” Crusade, 787 youth leaders is a nice start [...]
Viva la revolution! My report from Square One
Monday, February 28th, 2005787 youth leaders converged on the Roosevelt Hotel in midtown for the Square One breakfast Saturday morning. Evangelistically speaking, that’s eight hundred. Youth leaders. From the New York metro area. There are 298 public high schools and alternative high school programs in the five boroughs. Hmm. 800 youth leaders. 300 high schools. Those schools are [...]

Why I Support the Billy Graham Crusade (and Pray You Do Too)
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2005Billy Graham is coming to New York in June for his final crusade in the city, and quite possibly the last crusade of his distinguished career. So what? Why should you care, beyond perhaps the historical curiosity of the 86-year old, so-called “Protestant Pope†retiring? My friend, for one, doesn’t. He’s a respected youth pastor [...]
Billy Graham wants you
Tuesday, February 8th, 2005Friends and youth ministry colleagues: Get real for a second. Your youth are dying. Your neighborhood youth are dying even faster. Your church wants you to reach them. Your God called you to reach them. But you need help. So do I. This June a historic opportunity to reach your kids and mine, our city [...]
Not bad for an 86 year-old man
Friday, February 4th, 2005Presumably in light of Time magazine’s recent list, Christianity Today is conducting an online poll of “the most influential evangelical.” No surprises here: Chuck Colson: 3% James Dobson: 17% Billy Graham: 53% Ted Haggard: 0% Bill Hybels: 1% Bishop T.D. Jakes: 6% Tim LaHaye: 2% Richard Land: 0% J.I. Packer: 3% Rick Warren: 10% John [...]
