Appearing Monday on Fox & Friends, Christian evangelist Franklin Graham said he was “proud” of hip-hop superstar and fashion designer Kanye West for embracing Christianity, with the rapper’s latest Sunday Service concert taking place in Joel Osteen’s mega-church to an audience of millions.
A partial transcript is as follows:
STEVE DOOCY: "What do you make of what’s going on not only in Houston, but with Kanye West’s movement?"
REV. FRANKLIN GRAHAM: "First of all, I always like to see when God works on a person’s life and changes them and Kanye’s is a life that’s been changed by the power of almighty God through his faith in Jesus Christ. I’m just thrilled about what’s happened in his life. This is what Christmas is all about. Christmas is about God’s love sending his Son, Jesus Christ, to this earth to change our lives and to save us from our sins.
"Here at Christmas, Kanye is out in churches. Who would have thought he would have been in a church? And who would have thought a year ago that God would be using him to touch another generation of young people with the gospel of Jesus Christ? I’m proud of him, I pray for him, and I hope he’ll be very successful. And as he’s going around to churches doing this, I say more power to him."

Kanye is so good ? Did he donate all the $$$ to the church it his billionaire pockets for kim.
humility check, service to others, check, helping the poor, check. mentoring children, check, helping widows and orphans, check! man of God? i don't think so!
Oh, that good Churchin' money. The evangelical market. That's a good market.
Lotsa money made there, and Graham sure knows it.. time to mash up brands and more money for everyone!
God uses whomever he wants. Those who are willing to listen and obey.
Do we know what is in Kanye's heart? I don't, do you?
At the moment, there are THOUSANDS coming to Christ in the meetings/concerts/whatever-they-are that he is doing.
We would do well to not raise our tongue against what God is doing.. He is well able to handle Kanye. If Kanye is messing up, God will deal with it. He can be VERY persuasive.
Franklin Graham is an honorable man...........Kanye.....eh, not so sure.
