To the Ends of the Earth: The Gospel Ministry of Billy Graham
He preached to 215 million people in 185 countries during a career spanning almost six decades. William Franklin "Billy" Graham Jr. (1918 - 2018) was the most widely heard evangelist of modern times, an influential international ambassador for Christianity and "America's pastor." In January 2020, Colorado Christian University, in conjunction with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, proudly presented a retrospective exhibit on the life and ministry of a man known to many simply as Billy. (Watch the introductory trailer.)
Though the exhibition is now closed, you can still experience it through a video tour narrated by Michael Plato, Assistant Professor of Intellectual History and Christian Thought at CCU. See how God moved through Graham's life to proclaim and build His kingdom — from his childhood years to his dying breath. As you watch these videos, may you be challenged and encouraged by the example of how God uses his children and their gifting to impact the world around them. May we all truly believe that "with God all things are possible." (Matt. 19:26).
