“I’m not going to the border because it’s an election year,” he said in advance of the tour. “We’re going because it’s a crisis and it is one that is continuing to grow.”
The God Loves You Frontera Tour began in Brownsville, Texas on Feb. 24 and finishes on the border in Chula Vista, California March 9.
Graham emphasized that he’s preaching the Good News for everyone, regardless of whether they’re from the US, Mexico or another country.
“There are lots of hungry hearts and hurting people, so I’m going to the border to tell them about God’s Son Jesus Christ and how He can make a difference in our lives,” said Graham.
Pastors in Eagle Pass have been working for months to prepare for the event. They say the region is struggling with the strain of the border crisis and the aftermath of the pandemic and they’re praying for an abundant harvest.

“As Believers as we’re praying and asking God for revival, we are seeing that shift in the atmosphere, we are seeing things change and move,” said Amie Crabtree.
“This is something that God is doing supernaturally and He’s bringing people to revival, He’s bringing people back to Christ and we’re living in an amazing time right now,” said Don Crabtree. “It’s phenomenal that you see this whole thing culminating right here, right now in Eagle Pass, Texas.”
