I guess that very few figures have accomplished what Billy Graham has, aside from Jesus, has anyone else introduced Christ to more people?
I think it is odd that Billy Graham is not a giant among all the historical figures that have existed, he doesn’t even get much recognition in his own time compared to celebrities, Popes, Mother Theresa, televangelists, Politicians, Dictators, etc.
None of the Gospel greats get recognition when they die... Jerry Falwell, Dr. James Kennedy, Dottie Rambo, David Wilkerson, Oral Roberts, Adrian Rogers. All received barely a blip on the scrolling news feeds. Actually not much was said about Mother Theresa. The media was more consumed about her relationship with Lady Di.
The adage "This world is not my home, I'm just a passin' says it all.

Aren’t you forgetting the Popes of the Catholic Church? They have brought far more to Christianity than he has. Look at the numbers.
Er...perhaps the Holy Spirit? ;O)
