News of the Week from a Christian Perspective - Prime Time America Digest
This week’s PTA Digest begins with a conversation with Dr. Franklin Graham, president and CEO of both Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Dr. Graham and I talked about the Gospel witness a Christian ought to have as he or she lives their life before others. Next, Wycliffe Associates’ Bruce Smith talks about a Bible translation project that could bring the Scriptures to some 3 million Africans in their own heart languages. And finally, a look at what World Vision is doing in the midst of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Enjoy this week’s PTA Digest! – Greg Wheatley

Now, the Revere retiree has been voted into the Suffolk University Hall of Fame and will formally be inducted at a ceremony this spring.
