In a post on his social media accounts at 5:45 p.m. EDT Wednesday, evangelist Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Purse and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, acknowledged Kirk's conservative activism, but, more importantly, he noted his deep faith in Christ that he boldly shared with others. 

"What a tragedy. It has been announced that Charlie Kirk has died after being shot during an event at Utah Valley University today. This young man loved his country and invested his time and energy in trying to make it the best it could be. He stood boldly for conservative values and defended free speech for all of us," he wrote.
