Franklin Graham is best know - on both sides of The Pond - as the son of Billy Graham the legendary American evangelist. Like others in his family he followed his footsteps and went into ministry building on the work of his father.

He now leads the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and the international relief organisation Samaritan’s Purse - both major players in providing outreach and aid to people in emergency situations around the world.

He's also recently been in the UK with his 'God Loves You Tour'. Premier Christianity's Deputy Editor Emma Fowle caught up with him at this year's European Congress in Berlin where Christian leaders meet from across the continent to focus on promoting evangelism in Europe.
