America's pastor
Billy Graham (1918-2018)
Billy got on the train to Minneapolis. He had come to Los Angeles months before as a young preacher, now he was leaving as one of the most recognized Christians in the country. However, this was not what Billy had been looking for; he had only been opened to be used by God. He wondered if this was the peak of his glory or if something bigger was going to happen.
The eldest son of dairy farmers in Charlotte, North Carolina, young Billy Graham attended evangelical revival meetings that inspired him for the rest of his life. Ordained as a pastor, he became known and went on to preach the Christian message to more than two hundred million people in one hundred and eighty-five countries.
Billy Graham was one of the pioneers of civil rights. He befriended American politicians and presidents and traveled all over the world where no one else dared to go. His life and ministry shaped the spiritual life of North America and offered hope for the future, inspiring new generations of leaders ready to serve with courage, integrity and vision. His message continues to resonate today! There is always an opportunity to repent and shine the great light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
