Greetings & Blessings Faithful Followers of Team MissionAccess!  This month we continue our focus on the concept of Leaving a Legacy with a closer look at the Life & Legacy of Evangelist Billy Graham.

Perhaps one of the most well-known Evangelists of all time, this early You Tube Vid Clip captures a fiery young preacher leading a classic Crusade 60 Years ago in Madison Square Garden.  But by that time he’d already been saving souls for a decade!

And during a steamy Summer 1972 Billy Graham Crusade in Cleveland, OH I too heeded The Call to come “Just As I Am” and gave my life to The Lord.

 “According to his staff, more than 3.2 million people have responded to the invitation at Billy Graham Crusades to ‘accept Jesus Christ as their personal savior’. As of 2008, Graham’s estimated lifetime audience, including radio and television broadcasts, topped 2.2 billion. Because of his crusades, Graham has preached the gospel to more people in person than anyone in the history of Christianity.”[1]  

Suffice to say Billy Graham has been a powerful force for Christianity worldwide.  But according to the World Population Clock, there are roughly 7.5 Billion people in the world today.  So though God has used Billy Graham in a mighty way there are still more than 2.5X that many people who STILL need to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Hard to believe but Billy Graham turns 99 this year! And while he eagerly anticipates hearing a richly-deserved “Well Done!” it is now up to You…to Me…to US to pick up our Crosses, Share Our Faith and help lead a whole new generation into a Personal Relationship with Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
