Franklin Graham, a prominent evangelical leader and supporter of President Trump, expressed optimism regarding the government's freeze on foreign aid, stating it offers a chance for accountability in aid distribution. Samaritan's Purse, he leads, has faced funding pauses due to the U.S. government's review of foreign aid practices. Although this situation may be concerning for some, Graham believes it is beneficial for ensuring proper management of taxpayer money. With USAID's activities being significantly altered under the new administration, Graham remains enthusiastic about its implications for faith-based organizations like his.
"If anything, I think it is good, because there has never really been a review of the policies and the procedures and expenditures."
"Many faith-based organizations rely on government contracts to function, but for Samaritan's Purse, it represents only a fraction of our budget."
