Franklin Graham Headlines Opening Day at NRB 2023
Franklin Graham, President & CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, delivered the keynote address to the Opening Session of NRB 2023 in Orlando, Fla., charging attendees to remain faithful to God’s calling on Christian communicators.
“I learned a lot from members of NRB, my father being one of them,” Graham recalled. The late Billy Graham—the most renowned evangelist of the twentieth century—addressed NRB Convention several times throughout the NRB association’s history.
Graham warned Christians to take the spiritual state of the culture seriously, saying, “I believe there is a coming storm that we’d all better be ready for. We need to be ready and get prepared.”
His underlying message to the NRB gathering: It’s all about the Gospel.
NRB Great Commission Event: “The Way to Revival is Repentance”
NRB’s annual convention draws Christian media professionals from all over the world who are looking to join with U.S. counterparts for encouragement, training, and global partnerships. This year, more than 100 international attendees representing 26 countries participated in NRB 2023.
The Great Commission Summit was held on Monday, May 22, and focused on living out the tenets of the faith and using global media to advance the ultimate goal of reaching the world with the Gospel. This special event included a forum with remarks from Dr. Michael Oh, Global Executive Director & CEO at Lausanne Movement, and Nick Vujicic, President & CEO of Life Without Limbs.
“It is time America actually repents,” Vujicic said. “The way to revival is repentance that actually then awakes the righteous and the remnant to do what God wants you to do.”
