The Rev. Billy Graham, the charismatic Christian evangelist who took his evangelizing crusades around the country and the globe, has died according to officials of his organization. He was 99.
It’s reported that Rev. Graham achieved a reach unlike any other evangelist, serving as a counselor or minister to a dozen U.S. presidents. He preached to an estimated 215 million people in 185 countries around the world during his life, and his message reached millions more through radio, television and the internet. He also wrote more than two dozen books, including his 1997 memoir, “Just as I Am,” which was a New York Times best-seller.
The longtime evangelist appeared on Gallup’s list of the most admired men and women 60 times since 1955 — every year the research company asked the question. Quite the achievement for one who came from modest means and grew up on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina.
His reach and influence crossed all boundaries. The Martin Luther King Jr. counted Graham as a close friend and ally, once remarking, “Had it not been for the ministry of my good friend Dr. Billy Graham, my work in the civil rights movement would not have been as successful as it has been.”
“My home is in Heaven,” Rev. Graham always said. “I’m just traveling through this world.”
Condolences have poured in from around the world after his death, such as U.S. Vice President Mike Pence calling him one of the greatest Americans of the 20th century.
