Will Graham 13州「依靠宣言」巡讲10月26日中午抵达 Wilmington：Live Oak Bank Pavilion 举行午间祈祷布道
葛培理布道协会（Billy Graham Evangelistic Association，BGEA）执行副总裁 Will Graham 带领的13州「依靠宣言」巡讲（Declaration of Dependence Tour）于10月26日中午12时抵达 North Carolina 州 Wilmington 市，在 Cape Fear River 河畔的 Live Oak Bank Pavilion 举行午间站活动，内容包括为国家祈祷、赞美敬拜与简短的福音布道信息，每站时长不到一小时，方便上班族利用午休时间参加。
该巡讲于9月15日从 Massachusetts 州 Plymouth 的 Pilgrim Memorial State Park 启程，此后依次经过 New Hampshire 州 Manchester、Rhode Island 州 Providence、Connecticut 州 New Haven、Delaware 州 Wilmington、Pennsylvania 州 Philadelphia、New Jersey 州 Trenton、New York 州 Hempstead、Virginia 州 Roanoke 与 Maryland 州 Frederick。Wilmington 站之后，巡讲将于10月28日前往 South Carolina 州 Greenville 的 Unity Park，并于10月30日在 Georgia 州 Savannah 的 Forsyth Park 收官。各站均安排 Josh Havens 的原声音乐演出。
Will Graham 在布道协会发布的巡讲说明中表示：「在我们继续纪念国家建国250周年之际，似乎许多人正在宣告他们独立于上帝、不愿祂进入自己的生活。与此同时，我相信现在正是回到救主面前的时刻——感谢祂的信实，真诚承认我们对祂的依靠。」他说，每站活动「会用时间祈祷和赞美，然后我会分享福音永恒的真理，给人们一个回应并将信仰放在耶稣身上的机会」。Providence 的 Legacy Church 牧师 Ron Termale 则表示，美国东北部「对真理有一种饥渴」，历史上新英格兰曾有多次属灵复兴，「现在是再来一次的时候了」。
据布道协会数据，Will Graham 2026年已在美国、日本、韩国和加拿大举行活动，超过31,000人通过其外展活动听闻福音，超过1,200人决志跟随耶稣。Will Graham 是布道家 Billy Graham 的孙子、Franklin Graham 的长子，是葛培理家族第三代在布道协会旗下传讲福音的人，曾在六大洲向超过120万人演讲，现任布道协会执行副总裁，参与领导该机构各方面工作。葛培理布道协会由 Billy Graham 于1950年创立，总部位于 North Carolina 州 Charlotte。本站活动场地 Live Oak Bank Pavilion 位于 Wilmington 市中心河滨，地址为 10 Cowan Street，是该市最大的音乐演出场地，可容纳7,200人。
Will Graham's 13-State Declaration of Dependence Tour Reaches Wilmington on October 26 for a Noon Stop at Live Oak Bank Pavilion
The 13-state Declaration of Dependence Tour led by Will Graham, executive vice president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), reaches Wilmington, North Carolina, at noon on October 26, with a lunchtime stop at Live Oak Bank Pavilion on the Cape Fear River featuring prayer for the nation, praise and a brief evangelistic message from Graham. Each stop on the tour begins at noon and lasts less than one hour, making it possible for people to attend during their lunch break.
The tour kicked off on September 15 at Pilgrim Memorial State Park in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and has since traveled to Manchester, New Hampshire; Providence, Rhode Island; New Haven, Connecticut; Wilmington, Delaware; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Trenton, New Jersey; Hempstead, New York; Roanoke, Virginia; and Frederick, Maryland. After the Wilmington stop, the tour is scheduled to conclude with stops at Unity Park in Greenville, South Carolina, on October 28 and Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia, on October 30. Stops feature acoustic music from Josh Havens alongside prayer and Graham's messages.
"As we continue to commemorate our country's 250th birthday, it seems that many across the nation are declaring their independence from God. They don't want Him in their lives. At the same time, I believe that now is the moment to turn back to our Savior—thanking Him for His faithfulness and truly acknowledging our dependence on Him," Graham said in the association's tour announcement. "At the Declaration of Dependence Tour, we'll spend time in prayer and praise. Then I'll share the timeless truth of the Gospel and give people a chance to respond and place their faith in Jesus." Pastor Ron Termale of Legacy Church in Providence, Rhode Island, said there is "a hunger for truth in the Northeast" and that, after many historic spiritual awakenings in New England, "it's time for another one."
According to the BGEA, Graham has held events in the United States, Japan, Korea and Canada so far in 2026, with more than 31,000 people hearing the Good News through his outreaches this year and over 1,200 making decisions to follow Jesus. Will Graham is the third generation of his family to proclaim the Gospel under the banner of the BGEA: the grandson of Billy Graham and the oldest son of Franklin Graham, he has spoken to more than 1.2 million people across six continents and serves as the association's executive vice president. Founded by Billy Graham in 1950 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the BGEA directs domestic and international ministries from Charlotte. The Wilmington venue, Live Oak Bank Pavilion at 10 Cowan Street, is the city's largest music venue, an amphitheater with a capacity of 7,200 located next to the Cape Fear River.
