Programs Done Through Billy Graham Ministries

Christianity is a world known religion that is practiced by millions of people. Though everyone has there own views, it is up to any one person to decide who and how they want to believe.  One man has taken his views and life and spread the word of Christianity all over the world.  From radio to television to stadium seminars, this man has become well known for taking his views and inspiring other people to accept Christianity into their lives as their religion.

 
Billy Graham has preached to more than 2 billion people all over the world about Christianity.  He has spoken to twelve U.S. Presidents from Harry S. Truman to the current President Barack Obama.  His talks have even influenced decisions made by some of those Presidents.  Programs started by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association have impacted youth as well such as the Reach for the next Generation.

His journey really began during his years at Wheaton College where he transferred from Bob Jones College after almost being expelled.  It was on the 18th green of a golf course that he received his calling  and it is there that he became a pastor.  He had many preaching appointments that got him started on his way to becoming so renown around the world.
Christianity impacts the world in so many ways that it is hard to just list all of them.  In everyday life you can look around and Christianity is there in some form or another.  From education, marriage, art, music, family and the value of human life is just a small range of categories that can be looked at.
