Celebrating Billy Graham’s Birthday

Today, on what would have been Billy Graham’s 106th birthday, we honour a man who laid aside his own ambitions to live fully for God’s glory. At age 16, this reluctant boy from North Carolina prayed the prayer he would go on to lead millions in—accepting Christ into his heart. From that moment on, he never turned back. Billy Graham’s life stands as a reminder to us all of the mighty works God can do through us when we live in humble service and total submission to Him.
