REST IN PEACE BILLY FRANK

It’s really an odd thing: Billy Graham was world famous for talking about someone else. Think about it. Billy Graham: The Messenger Billy Graham believed God knew no borders or nationalities. Throughout his career Graham preached Jesus to some 215 million people in 400 missions in more than 185 countries.

THE GRAHAMS, GOLF AND THE GOOD NEWS
