  1. Dalila Pacheco

    Never met Billy Graham but saw part of one of his sermons on letting your children know of God, of Jesus “right now” & not to wait. That was part of my prayer for my son on which church would minister to him & by hearing Billy I no longer waited. We are both very blessed. God bless all of you.

  2. Anna Carson

    Billy Graham is one of the most familiar names I know. He did not represent himself, but the good news of Jesus. He spoke truth in love.

  3. Brenda Casaly

    I grew up watching Billy Graham on TV from Grandfather Home, an orphanage in Banner Elk, N.C. Born in Boone. And have kept up with him and Franklin’s Samaritan’s Purse. My husband died in October 2017 (GBM) at 65. He became a Christian right before he died. Would watch Billy Graham sermons.

  4. Rev Priscilla Fulford

    Watching Billy Graham’s Classics on TV always blesses my soul. When I was a little girl, I was Catholic and we didn’t watch him because my dad told me he was not a Catholic. When I grew up and left New York, my home, I lived with my Aunt in Rocky Mount, NC. She would watch him and I was blessed.

  5. Bonnie and Allen Cleveland

    Youth for Christ rally in Detroit, ’53/’54. Bonnie won an autographed Peace with God. Allen met Billy in the country store near our and Melvins’ farms. Billy asked him if he knew Christ as Lord and Savior. He did, and good conversation followed. We were counselors.

  6. John Fraser

    I was raised in a Christian home. My mother and father not only took me to church, they remained with me in church. My dad was killed in a railway accident (1956) when I was 8 years of age. My dad always used to refer to Billy Graham as “My Billy.” Thank you for your father’s ministry.

  7. John Clark

    I had an opportunity to see Billy Graham in 1968 in San Antonio, TX when I was 13 years old. I can remember to this day hearing him say “God loves you.” There will never be another like him. So sad as our country needs God.

  8. John Gustafson

    I have attended 3 of Billy Graham’s crusades over the years. The last one in Kansas City my entire family attended and one grandson Jonathan. This was in Oct and shortly after Thanksgiving Jonathan trusted Christ as Savior and Lord. Thank you Billy Graham for preaching the Gospel for many years.

  9. Charlene Gagnier-Miner

    Although I never met him personally, I felt a part of this ministry and saw him as a true ambassador for Christ, unlike any other public figure or preacher I had met or heard in my life. He was a major part of my faith journey & shaped not only a great deal of what I believe but how I live my faith.

  10. John Ngendahayo

    I praise God for the life and ministry of Billy Graham. It was him and his organization–the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association–that gave me as an African itinerant unknown young evangelist the opportunity to attend an international conference for preachers outside of Africa. My life was impacted.
