McKissic said that throughout his lifetime, he has “overwhelmingly” voted Republican. But, he said, “I have seen in the Republican platform, them abandon a commitment to ban abortion with a constitutional amendment along with a commitment to ban marriage between two persons of the same sex.”

“I’m very disappointed in their abandonment,” McKissic added. “I don’t see any moral superiority of one party over the other, and therefore in this election, I am voting for the better person and the best qualified candidate, Madam Vice President Kamala Harris.”

McKissic concluded his talk by saying that he believes “God can use Kamala Harris” if she becomes the first woman to serve as president of the United States.

Billy Graham’s Granddaughter Quotes His Favorite Verse, Encouraging Evangelicals to Vote for Harris

Jerushah Duford, who is the daughter of Gigi Graham Tchividijian (sister of Tullian Tchividijian and Basyle ‘Boz’ Tchividjian) and granddaughter to world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham, appeared on the call via pre-recorded video.

Duford called this presidential election a “pivotal point in our country’s future.” She quoted Isaiah 1:30 and said that Trump “bragged about assaulting women,” made “excuses for Jan. 6,” and made “excuses for convicted assault and 34 felonies.”

“The oak leaves don’t wither overnight,” she said as she referenced Isaiah. “And I’m terrified to think of how far this turning our head the other way and making excuses will take our country, but more importantly, our witness to the world.”

Duford continued, “One of my grandfather’s favorite verses was Micah 6:8. What an incredible reminder of what the Lord requires of us: to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly.”

“I’ve always stated that my president doesn’t have to be a Christian, but I am and will be watching for my faith leaders to support actions that reflect mercy, justice, and humility, and for my faith leaders to rebuke actions that are the antithesis of that,” Duford said.

“Voting Kamala, for me, is so much greater than policies,” she stated. “It’s a vote against another four years of faith leaders justifying the actions of a man who destroys the message Jesus came to spread.”

Duford concluded by encouraging evangelicals to “pray for the faith leaders in our country to take a stand for justice, mercy, and humility.”

“Take the Evangelicals for Harris pledge on our website, [and serve],” she added. “Go perform actions of service in your neighborhood or community, and then come back and share your story with the Evangelicals for Harris campaign.”
