Famed Evangelist has a Birthday party with a Gospel purpose.
let’s welcome the man of the hour my
father Billy Graham
what what a great day for our country
and for North Carolina welcome to the
special guests that are visiting our
state and happy birthday Billy Graham
we’re proud of you here in North
Carolina we see all that you do all the
time and so you know we tip our hat to
you we talk about all the people you’ve
touched the world but just your family
alone is one of the most remarkable
families it’s unbelievable how much your
family has done for everybody and and
none of this would happen if it weren’t
for you
in the early 70s during the Jesus
Movement my mom started tuning in to the
televised Billy Graham Crusades the
message rocked her world transformed her
life my mom then led the rest of the
family to Christ and we thank you all of
us from the bottom of our hearts daddy
wanted to have the film the cross to be
his message tonight and so we would like
to show you tonight the cross and this
is the message that’s been on his heart
for the last three years and it’s a
message to our nation so let’s watch the
cross
as I look back over my life it’s full of
surprises
I never thought I would become friends
with people in different countries all
over the world
singing preach tonight on the video I
was so amazed at how after all these
years the message hasn’t changed he’s
made it to 95 and then has just done
this fantastic presentation of the
gospel that I think is as powerful as
anything he’s done I want to tell people
about the meaning of the cross not the
cross that hangs on the wall all around
someone’s neck it’s still relevant it’s
the same thing he’s preaching at 95 is
that same message that’s still just as
powerful the passion the zeal for that
message is still evident and clear in
the cross program that you see love you
willing to forgive you
tonight we celebrate not just the life
of milligram but we celebrate a life has
been committed and dedicated to the
gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ
