Graham, one of "the most admired men in the world," according to polls, held over 400 "Christian crusades," or evangelistic campaigns, between 1947 and 2005.

His influence was vast. He preached to an estimated 250 million people and offered spiritual guidance to several U.S. presidents.

A truly joyous day up in heaven. A good and faithful servant has arrived home at last to reunite with his Savior and his dear wife.

Coming from a very strong Catholic family I can attest how wonderful my Mother thought Billy Graham was, as did I. He was a warrior for Christ, no doubt about it, and he was always positive about people, wanting them to come to Jesus.

“God bless you, Billy! Hope to be there one day.”

I think Billy would say: You can know, for certain, right now, that you will be there. Believe that Jesus died for your sins on the cross. Trust Jesus to save you, and you will be forgiven and declared right before God because of Him. Today. Trust Him today and you can KNOW today.
