joni and billy grahamAlthough in his mid-90s, Mr. Graham continues to serve the Lord as a powerful prayer warrior. And he's passionate about making the gospel accessible to disabled people, too. I remember when I spoke at Billy Graham's Crusade in Budapest Hungary in 1989 – his team underwrote the train fares of any disabled person who desired to come to the downtown sports arena. On the first evening, the stadium track was filled with disabled people lying on mattresses, on cots, blankets, and sitting in rickety old wheelchairs. That night, thousands opened their hearts to Jesus Christ! I love Mr. Graham for many reasons, but a big reason is his zeal for the gospel and for making it accessible to all!

Just saw that Crusade show this pass Wednesday! It was awesome. Still love to hear Rev. Graham's messages now matter how long ago and it was wonderful to hear Joni give her testimony!

Dear Joni, The book that has impressed me most in my doctrinal thinking has been "The Holy Spirit" by Mr Graham.The view he presented brought rest in my spiritual life.I consider his way of thinking very balanced and sound.

I appreciate him too. I was born again after one of his crusades in 1971. Thanks for posting about him.
