  1. April Tarpley

    Ever since I can remember, my grandmother always talked about Billy Graham. My parents used to take us four kids to all the Billy Graham tent crusades that were near us growing up. Half the time our dad would have to put us on his shoulders in order to get a glimpse of him. Our prayers to the family.

  2. Catherine Alexander

    Hello! I rededicated my life to Christ in 1986, when Billy Graham was in Washington, D.C. While standing in front of Dr. Graham, he looked like a spiritual being larger than life itself. I express my condolences on behalf of my family. Since then I am able to see visions and hear from God. Thanks.

    I can’t put into words how very important Billy Graham has been throughout my life! I have been guided by him (with Jesus’ permission) over the tough early years of my life up to old age!

    One memorable experience: Re-dedication to the Lord Jesus Christ after receiving a mailing/dedication card in the mail in 1975. God called me to ministry and I preached my trial sermon in 1977 and was ordained in 1979 (FBC) while serving with chaplains (admin) in the USAF. Thank God for you all.

    When I was young and knew everything, I made fun of Billy and all who watched. Later in life and humbled by it, I understand what he was trying to say. I never knew Billy but part of me feels like I have lost my father and the other is jealous because he is home. THANK YOU JESUS FOR THIS GODLY MAN.

    Please accept our condolences in the homegoing of Rev. Graham. The world will miss him. I first met Rev. Graham when he came to Guyana (British Guiana) when I was a child. When I came to America as a student I went to the stadium in New York and heard him again. What a blessing for me.

  7. Richard Plotner

    I was saved at the age of 10 (1968) while watching a crusade on TV. My mother came into my room that night and led me through the sinner’s prayer. It brings tears to my eyes when I remember her telling me that “now your name is written in the book of life.”

  8. Larry Sparks

    At 7, I was given a once in a lifetime gift from God to attend the Crusade (at the old Athletics stadium) with my family. I had a profound spiritual experience. Ms. Jackson and Ms. Kitt needed no mics to touch us all. I cried a lot. The Spirit soared and we were nearly transfigured, but mostly I was moved.

  9. Lois Whittemore

    When I was a young child Billy Graham was preaching on the TV in my parents’ house. At the end of the sermon he asked for those who wanted to receive Christ to come forward, and not knowing what to do I went by my TV at home and received and believed in Jesus.
