Anyone going to the Billy Grahm crusade in a few weeks? I was thinking of going since it will be his last one and I've never been to one before. :-)

I know a groups of students from the Calvary Chapel Bible School that are going down there to be counsellors. Also I read an letter that Billy Graham just sent out to his supporters asking only for prayer and giving an picture and story about the history of the evangelism and revival that happened in New York many years back and how it was begun soley by the prayers of God's people.I want to definetly be involved in this by prayer that God would work over and beyond how ever they can organize it by men's efforts. May a move of the spirit of conviction happen so that many will come into the kingdom and be "born" from above.
from http://www.billygraham.org/News_Article.asp?ArticleID=103----Preparing for the New York Crusade has been a monumental task. New York is the most ethnically diverse city in the world. More than 130 languages are spoken within walking distance of Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Logistics for such a meeting have presented special challenges.Plans are being made to transform Flushing Meadows Corona Park into a giant stadium filled with 70,000 chairs and an overflow area for more than 50,000 people. Projection screens will be located to allow those on the periphery to see and hear without obstruction. We are so grateful to the more than 1,000 churches who have been praying and working for months across this great city to prepare for the Crusade. We covet your prayers. Evangelism will not work apart from persistent prayer that prepares hearts to hear and receive the Gospel. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will move in a mighty way, for we know that “He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8, NKJV). Your prayers are vital to our ministry and to the millions who need to hear the Gospel.Thank you for lifting us up to God’s throne.Sincerely,Franklin GrahamPresidentPray NowJoin us in praying for the Greater New York Crusade, June 24–26, 2005:That the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ would be lifted up in every corner of this great city and beyond.That God would continue to bless preparations for the Crusade—including spiritual, technical, and financial considerations.That Christians in the Tri-State area and southern New England would unite to inform their communities about the Crusade.That thousands would come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior as a result of Billy Graham’s messages, June 24–26.
