Billy Graham

safety or set an example for many generations to follow through humility, passion, and intelligence. Thus, Billy Graham is my personal hero because he shares his passion for the Gospel and leads many people to faith in Jesus Christ. Further, he is a hero who was made. The son of a flourishing dairy farmer, Billy Graham was born on November 7, 1918 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Graham dedicated his life to Christ after experiencing a religious awakening at a revival meeting led by Mordecai Ham in 1934. After many years of education at Bob Jones College and Florida Bible Institute Graham was “ordained a minister by…

William Franklin "Billy" Graham Jr. is an American Christian evangelist. I chose Billy Graham because my family looks up to him religiously, and my church has went to one of his sermons before. I unfortunately didn’t get to go because I was too young.

Billy was born November 7th, 1918 in Charlotte, North Carolina His parents were William and Morrow…

One of the greatest revolutions is Technology that can act as a tool to help spread the Gospel. In the video “Billy Graham: Technology, faith, and human shortcomings”, Billy Graham said about the three problems that David saw: human of evil, the problem of human’s suffering, and death. After I watched the video, I thought that even though sometimes, the technology used in the wrong ways, it is definitely improving the quality of our life. Also, if we utilize technology for spreading the Gospel…

After viewing and listening to Dr. Billy Graham’s video, it has gotten me to thinking about what I believe as it pertains to technology and what God’s word…

Billy Graham was involved in the Fourth Great Awakening, which mainly took place through the years of 1960 and 1980 (press.uchicago.edu). Some still believe that we are currently living in the Fourth Awakening but, the bulk of the Christian challenging of social norms was solely between those 20 years. Some people have a tough time accepting the ideas of the Fourth Great Awakening as a true “awakening.” This is because the changes and outcomes of the awakening and the actions of the concerning…

The route to ministry for Billy was through college. One of the South’s leading evangelists, Bob Jones, came to Charlotte to speak at a high school to recruit students to attend Bob Jones College in Cleveland, Tennessee. Billy’s parents believed that this was the place for their son (Bruns, 2004). In the fall of 1936, Graham went off to Cleveland to begin his studies. Graham thought that the college was more strict than a prison (Bruns, 2004). For example, a couple could not hold hands and mail…

thought of Graham. The Youth for Christ rallies were established to be upbeat, exuberant, and celebrate Christ’s good works. Graham spoke at Chicago’s first Youth for Christ rally on May 24, 1944. Graham was nervous that no one would show up, but it was just the opposite (Wooten, 2001). That night Graham preached to 3,000 people, the largest crowd he had ever faced. During his first year with Youth for Christ, Graham logged two hundred thousand miles of travel. This was a pattern that would…

Billy has shared the Gospel with all sorts of people, from presidents and popes to natives of foreign countries; no one is …
