Billy Graham Ministry Launches Ransom, an Online Portal for Young People

Dynamic music videos and interviews introduce visitors to Jesus Christ, encourage spiritual growth.

Representing a new effort to reach the next generation, an innovative Christian Web resource, Ransom (Ransom.tv), is now up and running to introduce young people to Jesus Christ. A project of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), Ransom features compelling music videos and interviews with Christian artists, athletes and other personalities â all designed to connect with youth and young adults and present the life-changing message of the Gospel.

Young people are facing tremendous pressures from the world, and many are searching for the answers to lifeâs toughest questions,â said Ken Barun, senior vice president of communications, BGEA. âRansom allows us to meet them where they are, speak their language and let them know thereâs a God who loves them. Itâs the same message Billy Graham has always preached â this time in Web 2.0.

The site Ransom.tv is loaded with videos of artists relaying everything from their personal testimony of faith in Jesus Christ to their thoughts on what Christmas means to them. In honor of the Christmas season, included on the site is a brand-new video of âLittle Drummer Boy,â by the rock band The Almost.

More than a site, Ransom is an online experience, featuring videos, culturally relevant articles, testimonials and a simple, compelling presentation of the Gospel to which users can respond using social media platforms, including Facebook and Twitter. New videos and other pieces will be added regularly to keep the content fresh and encourage visitors to return. Ransom also has a Facebook page, a Twitter account and a YouTube channel.

The ministry derives its name from Jesusâ words in Mark 10:45:
For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.

Ransom is in part a continuation of the popular 2009 Rock the River Tour, a youth-focused concert series that travelled up the Mississippi River last summer with soul-stirring music from bands like Flyleaf and challenging messages from Franklin Graham. The site is a place for these youth and young adults and others to visit and grow in their spiritual walk.

    Professional Technical Writer,

    Frankeinstien and elecrical birth!

    Ms “Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was published in 1818, when Mary was 21, and became a huge success (!)”. Her Book” Frankenstein;” was Mary Shelley (née Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin; 30 August 1797 – 1 February 1851) … “an English novelist, short story writer, dramatist, essayist, biographer, and travel writer, best known for her Gothic novel Frankenstein: or, The Modern Prometheus (1818). She also edited and promoted the works of her husband;” a famed researcher in Berlin, German electrical Science including returning the dead being to living! “He was credited as the co-author of the novel Frankenstein (1818) in a new edition by the Bodleian Library in Oxford; unannounced and rule energy to bout any voltage of London! In 1818 London, England; where this exciting couple lived; near or dead People were amazingly brought back-to-life and witnessed by famous documented of Science and Policing as reported; according to the insight of http://public.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/frank.comment3.html; here it is proven that the Pittsburg Scientist … “Benjamin Franklin was a well-known scientist who studied the scientific properties of electricity in the 1700’s. He not only performed the infamous experiment with the kite and lightning, but also studied the possible medical benefits of electricity.” Http://public.wsu.edu/~delahoyd/frank.comment3.html; holds the non Novel of Science can electrical wave properly raced into a corpse alive?
    Wonder is never a day away! Let’s consider if at the time we recreated Mrs Shelley’s experiment and proved to the World we can bring a corpse to life again?!

    Is Our Planet not welcome to new Science? Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Suzuki; states Nature is Science and no Canadian will lose “paper;” on a new Experiment! This man of Japan Nature offered two thermo on the return of lost life; one is an amazing in articled Primer on and support to Life the Book! The Church holds the Blessed Virgin Mary in special regard. Is stated and I agree; and this man is a “a professor in the genetics;”not in media falsie!

    So thereby, in the Year of England, London two ladies of pure kept Science rode to a lady of caliber and husband and challenge if the dead of being can be “electrically recharged and awake again and live!

    In Ms Shelley’s Novel “Frankenstein;” the following to my understanding occurred and Registered by experts including famed Scientist Registered retired (light) Sir Benjamin Franklin’ Grandson whose Grand-Dad: “In the early 1750’s he turned to the study of electricity … was growing sick of the corruption he saw all around him in politics … and for credibility … was elected to the Second Continental Congress and worked on a committee of five that helped to draft the Declaration of Independence.”! { http://www.ushistory.org/franklin/info/index.htm}.
    Meanwhile in London, England; Ms Shelley; was racing to propel her theorem to Scientific annual and a corpse dead as a nail was set before according to Medical (unauthorized) Journal; from a crematorium!
    “In the summer of 1816, Percy Shelley and 19-year-old Mary visited the poet Lord Byron at his villa beside Lake Geneva in Switzerland. Stormy weather frequently forced them indoors, where they and Byron’s other guests sometimes read from a volume … one is by English statement on electrical voltage from the lightening! This Lady granted a purse from writing early hire two Scientists visiting her Mansion: The William Godwin; here in London two towers of open windows as in the the Novel opened during a racing electrical fire!
    Whence two cadavers were brought in for father was a Provinced English Cram our; the Tymes of London Paper carried news of exiled of print! Thunder radiated and electric current baited – and eight million “charges” of Act of Nature pursed new interterm into a Sir Frank of Stein; (a mad and careful historian and carpenter of Hungary)!
    Stien (Burg); awoke!
    Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinburg; accordingly; the race for re-electrical birth as with a wrongfully murdered member here Steinburg is a district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is bounded by (from the west and clockwise) the districts of Dithmarschen; as proven; was also missing this politician who knew thunder charge may reverse death!
    His writing friend … reported … Mary Shelley’s perceptions of science and the dangerous power it potentially brings truth that conductive power of the Heavens will hold new birth from demon murder! The English and all agree lightening can liberate or kill People! What this lady of clean reputation revealed in German mind is voltage is conducive and will mark the fool from the hero!
