Due to extenuating circumstances, Edward Graham will not be able to attend this year’s NCCA. We are, however, excited to have his sister, Cissie Graham Lynch join us in his stead. Cissie serves as Senior Advisor for Samaritan’s Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and is host of the Fearless podcast.

Cissie Graham Lynch is the daughter of Franklin Graham and the granddaughter of Billy Graham. She was raised in the familiar surroundings of two ministries her father now leads—the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse. Since 2010, Cissie has worked as part of the two organizations in various capacities, currently serving as a communications advisor and ministry spokesperson.

Cissie is the host of Fearless with Cissie Graham Lynch: Fearless Faith in a Compromising Culture—a podcast produced by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association—where she addresses popular issues in culture and what the Bible teaches about those topics. She also shares personal stories from her own life and lessons she has learned from watching her father and grandfather in private and public ministry. Cissie encourages listeners to explore Scripture for themselves and challenges them to speak boldly on issues including life, family, and faith, and to stand fearlessly for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

In her work at Samaritan’s Purse, Cissie has traveled the world advocating for initiatives that reach women, children, and millennials. Her mission is to stand boldly for the Gospel in an ever-compromising world and encourage others to stand on the one and only Truth―the same Spirit-filled Truth that she has found in her relationship with Jesus Christ.

Cissie believes in taking an active stand on political issues that affect conservative values. She has been a voice for women’s and family issues – encouraging others to get involved in every level of politics and to fight for the rights of children, women, and the traditional family structure.
