The Billy Graham Library: A Must-See for Any Believer

I was just in Charlotte, North Carolina, for the reopening of the Billy Graham Library.

This place is really a must-see for any believer, especially those who are passionate about evangelism. This interactive museum chronicles the ministry of the greatest evangelist who has ever lived, Billy Graham.

It covers his humble beginnings as a dairy farmer in Charlotte to being the friend of presidents and a bold herald of the gospel around the world.

Billy himself came to the event and told us that he still dreams about milking cows! He did a lot of that as young boy, wondering what course his life would take.

Never in his wildest dreams could he have imagined what the Lord would do with his life.

As a young boy, I remember watching Billy on the old black-and-white television at my grandparents’ house when I lived with them. After my conversion, I heard him preach in San Diego and felt a calling myself to be an evangelist.

In the late ’80s, I had the privilege of meeting Billy and have since gotten to know him personally and I can tell you he is the same man privately that you see publicly.

It was said of Moses that he was the man of God. I don’t know of a higher compliment one can pay to anyone. But I would say the same of Billy . . . he is the man of God.
