Many people, myself included, have been profoundly influenced by his love of Jesus, his life and ministry.

In large auditoriums and through broadcasts, or watching him on TV – one could not help but be impacted by his passion for God, his commitment to the truth of the gospel and his life of integrity lived under intense media scrutiny.

I am sure that his legacy will live on and will leave the last words to him: “Someday you will read or hear that Billy Graham is dead. Don’t believe a word of it. I shall be more alive than I am now. I will just have changed my address. I will have gone into the presence of God.”

Peter Lynas, NI director, Evangelical Alliance
