About Billy Graham

William Franklin Graham, Jr.
Nov. 7, 1918-Feb. 21, 2018

Billy Graham was born and raised on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina – just 4 miles from where his namesake library now sits. He preached the Gospel message to over 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories and reached countless more through radio, television, film, books, and the internet. Billy Graham also initiated international training events that served as catalysts for global evangelism, equipping the church to take the Good News of Jesus Christ to the ends of the earth.

Billy Graham’s counsel was sought by presidents, and his appeal in both the secular and religious arenas is evidenced by the wide range of groups that have honored him, including numerous honorary doctorates from many institutions in the U.S. and abroad.

When asked how he wanted to be remembered, he replied simply, as his gravestone states (which can be seen on the ground of the Billy Graham Library in the Memorial Prayer Garden): a preacher of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
