A Day in the Life of Billy Graham: Living the Message

Billy Graham was born on November 7, in a frame house on a North Carolina dairy farm. Like many others in their day, his parents were hard-working people who knew the value of a dollar and the meaning of self-discipline.

Perhaps less ordinary, however, was their belief in God and devotion to seeking His wisdom and blessing for their family and for a world in need. To them, the Bible was the very Word of God, and their prayers declared their dependence on Him through any circumstance. As the times proved, circumstances were trying and challenging. From drought to depression, dust and destitution, people everywhere desperately searched the horizon for hope, that place where answers to prayer lives.

In a time of penny candy, nickel sodas, hair tonic, blushing brides, travelling preachers, and Sunday suppers, people were optimistic and busy. With so many other things to do, most young people were not thinking about things like Christian service and dying to self. Although it is true that Billy Graham enjoyed having fun, there was more.

Somewhere deep, something fundamental was working inside him. In May of , the Christian businessmen of Charlotte, NC, secured permission to hold an all-day prayer meeting at the Graham farm.

On that day, a prayer was raised — that out of Charlotte the Lord would raise up someone to preach the Gospel to the ends of the earth. It was in that year the previously reluctant Billy Graham gave his life to the Lord at a revival meeting led by travelling evangelist Rev.

At 16 years old, Billy Graham was about to experience the transformation of a traditional farm boy into an instrument of God. The Bible — sealed by a prayer: After graduating from high school, Billy enrolled at Florida Bible Institute, now Trinity College, and began to lead prayer meetings at a nearby trailer park and downtown mission hall.

He also preached at a local church, as an ordained minister of the Southern Baptist Convention. Other churches began inviting him to speak. Especially handy for group settings.
