Follow three people, on the verge of harming themselves or others, that desperately needed something more. George: George Palmer hated everything Billy Graham stood for, so he plotted to kill the evangelist at a 1959 Crusade. This is the story of how God changed his heart. George Palmer's life was marked by anger and hatred from a young age. After losing his father at seven and a half, George's grief turned into a deep-seated rage against God. This anger festered, leading him down a path of violence and rebellion. By the time he was a young man, George was consumed by a desire to hurt others, culminating in a plan to kill the evangelist Billy Graham during a 1959 crusade. Armed with zip guns, George and his gang infiltrated the crusade, intending to strike during the appeal. However, as Billy Graham spoke, George experienced an unexpected and profound inner turmoil. A voice questioned his presence there, and he felt an overwhelming sense of discomfort. As Graham's message of repentance and faith in Christ resonated through the crowd, George's hardened heart began to soften. In a moment of divine intervention, George found himself weeping uncontrollably, laying down his weapon, and running to the front in surrender. That night, nine out of the ten gang members, including George, experienced a radical transformation, embracing the faith they once despised. George's story is a powerful testament to the transformative power of love and forgiveness. It illustrates how even the most hardened hearts can be changed by the grace of God, turning a life of hatred into one of redemption and gratitude.
