  1. John Hardee

    One of my best memories in life was watching the Billy Graham crusades with my mother as a child and young teen. We would watch him and share some onion dip and potato chips sitting on the couch.

  2. Karen Anderson

    I cried when I heard Rev. Graham had passed to his forever home; not because I was sad—though I will miss him dearly—but because I was so happy for him to be finally home and talking with God one-on-one! God bless you, sir!

  3. Danna Drew

    My maternal grandmother, Helen Hite, listened to Billy Graham faithfully. As a young child, this was my exposure to the Faith in Jesus Christ. My immediate family members were not Christians; however, any time Billy Graham spoke on television, we gathered to listen. He touched our lives!!!

  4. Ruth Linton

    I am blessed to be the youngest child in a Southern Baptist minister’s family and fondly remember watching the Crusades on our black and white television growing up. We always watched them as a family. Now I listen via the Sirius radio in my car. May God bless and keep the Grahams and BGEA!

  5. Dorothy Kres

    MY GOD prepare the hearts of people in the cities where Franklin is preaching and teaching love and peace of Jesus to these people, that the Holy Spirit will move in their hearts. You have our prayers for your Crusade.

  6. Joanie Veach

    As a small child I watched Billy Graham on television. I could feel God’s power even at that young age sitting in our living room. Whenever he was on I would listen. I later became a Sunday school teacher as well as a youth leader and still am, even at the age of 73. Thank you Billy.

  7. Jacque Leek

    I was totally blessed to be born into a Christian family, in Fair Oaks, CA. I was blessed to attend one of Rev. Graham’s events in Sacramento, in the 80’s, when he came to speak. I also sang in the choir that day! It was a very special day for me, my church, and my family. GOD BLESS YOU AND ALL!

    Billy saved my life. I was raped by an Army guy when I was in the fourth grade. I could not tell my parents because my abusive mother would blame me. She was an alcoholic, usually drunk by early afternoon. She would come in the early night and try to hit me in the head with her fists.
