Since the end of World War II, Billy Graham has met every United States president and countless world leaders, most of whom sought him out for friendship or advice.

if we would have followed the footsteps

of an ordinary man who had one day been

dramatically changed by an extraordinary

God would we believe those steps would

journey from the rolling fields of North

Carolina to the steps of the White House

and beyond

I’ll just felt God was speaking to me

and he said I want to use you and I said

Lord I’ll go where you want me to go and

I’ll be what you want me to be I’m yours

Christ belongs to O be he belongs to the

whole world his gospel is for everyone

whoever you are to one the great

evangelist of our nation’s history his

Crusades are legendary sighs his crowds

were magnificent throughout the years

because of the message and because of

the messenger that’s the beauty and the

greatness in the thrill of God’s love

can a person that a person in my

position wants to know while preaching

to millions around the world Billy

Graham found himself being called upon

many times as God’s ambassador to world

leaders

the Ministry of Billy Graham is friend

and counselor to US presidents

remains to this day unprecedented in

1950 Billy was asked to visit the White

House for the first time to meet with

then President Harry s Truman

soon after every US president since

World War two found occasion and reason

to call on the advice and friendship of

Billy Graham we need to pray for our

president and for those in authority as

the scriptures of told us he faces

tremendous responsibilities Lyndon

Johnson wrote in a personal letter to

Billy Graham my mind went back to those

lonely occasions at the White House when

your friendship helped to sustain a

president in an hour of trial no one

will ever know how you helped to lighten

my load or how much warmth you brought

into our house but I know

the reason world leaders have sought his

advice is precisely because he doesn’t

try to tell them what they should do

tomorrow but he does try to show them a

way of thinking about the problem that

adds a new dimension to their thinking

throughout the world governmental

leaders have been asking the tough

spiritual questions of Billy Graham

looking for answers his ministry as an

evangelist bringing the gospel of Jesus

Christ has worked to shape the destiny

of Nations at the end of these meetings

with these communist officials they

would be sitting there in stone silence

listening to every word that my father

said and when my father finished

speaking

they was ill but dr. Graham we have also

wondered if there was a God talk to us

more about how we can know God so I

think he was one of the forces that kept

a window open to the human spirit during

these oppressive years eight years ago

one of the Lord’s great ambassadors the

Reverend Billy Graham went to Eastern

Europe and the Soviet Union and upon

returning spoke of a movement there

toward more religious freedom

and perhaps he saw it before many of us

because it takes a man of God to sense

the early movement at the end of God and

the same thing with these Chinese

leaders that we saw in Russia they begin

to ask my father spiritual questions

these are the kind of questions that

were asked by top Chinese officials and

Chinese leaders Reverend William Billy

Graham’s untiring evangelism has spread

the word of God to every corner of the

globe and made him one of the most

inspirational spiritual leaders of the

20th century I think it’s true him that

I found myself praying even more than a

daily basis to give me the wisdom to

make decisions that would serve God and

be pleasing to him Billy Graham the man

the preacher the humble farmer’s son who

helped change the world is a spiritual

gift to all of us this unique person

that comes across the pages of history

who is this Jesus Christ he’s had many

opportunities over the years to do other

things that he turned down because God

had called him to a higher calling

and that was to be an ambassador of the

Lord Jesus Christ and to take the gospel

to literally the ends of the earth
