LETTERS 8 JUNE 2026 www.goodnewsfl.org Good News • South Florida Edition Franklin Graham: Until the Whole World Hears By Franklin Graham, President and CEO, Samaritan’s Purse and Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Franklin Graham needs to once again give counsel to our president to watch the words that come out of his mouth (language). Have him read at least 5 times the New Testament book of James until he really gets the truth and wisdom of the book. Sorry folks, but whether you are in high position or low position, God requires each of us to walk in obedience. He is no respecter of persons. - Thomas Summit From Addiction to Redemption: The Story of Nick Lowther By Antony Tchividjian, President, Recovery United, and Director, Calvary House So happy for you Nick Lowther! I lived on Woodlawn and grew up with your oldest sister Meg and cousins Catherine and Melissa. This was back in the 80’s… I loved both your Dad (Mr. Jackie) and Mom (Mrs. Linda)! I know they would both be so very proud of you! Stay strong!! - Robin Reed-Mock I Am Reminded by Leslie J. Feldman, GOOD NEWS Publisher Great article this month.
