Graham Billy

The world's best-known evangelist, the Rev. Billy Graham, has died at age 99, a spokesman told the Associated Press. From a gangly 16-year-old baseball-loving teen who found Christ at a tent revival, Graham went on to become an international media darling, a preacher to 12 presidents and the voice of solace in times of national heartbreak. He was America's pastor. Graham retired to his mountain home at Montreat, N.C., in 2005 after nearly six decades on the road calling people to Christ at 417 all-out preaching and musical events from Miami to Moscow. His final New York City crusade in 2005 was sponsored by 1,400 regional churches from 82 denominations. Ref. USAToday.
