Birthday Wishes for Billy Graham


"Happy Birthday, Billy! In December 1951, I went forward in your crusade at the Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh, N.C. My life, and therefore, all my children's lives have been blessed because I accepted Jesus into my life as a 16-year-old senior in high school. I often wonder how different my life might have been except for that decision that night."
–F.R.

"Happy Birthday, Mr. Graham. My prayers and best wishes for you as you celebrate your 90th Birthday. God has blessed you, and in turn you have blessed others through your ministry that has so obviously impacted our world. I have attended your School of Evangelism, and it changed my life and my ministry. I am forever grateful to God for you and the work of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association ministry. Thank you and Happy Birthday."
–L.K.

"I saw you in Chicago when I was a teenager. It was a special night for me and so many others. It is so awesome that your children are following in your footsteps. I have heard both Anne and Franklin speak, and I'm sure it blesses your heart to know that your mission will carry on in such capable hands. I so enjoy Anne's Bible studies and wish she would write more. I am praying for strength and good health for you in your 90th year. May God bless you richly on your birthday and always!"
–J.D.

"Happy Birthday. Your ministry means so much. When I hear you preach the Word, and when I read your wife's devotional "Letters from Ruth's Attic" each day, it brings me such joy to know the impact that you both have had on the lives of so many. May the Lord continue to bless you today and each day. Thank you for preaching the truth, and standing firmly upon the Rock. You are an example to all of us."
–A.W.

"Mr. Graham, Praise the Lord for you and your ministry. I (like thousands of people) attended one of your Crusades. I was 16 years old, and I came forward to receive Christ as my Lord and Savior. I am 46 now, and even though there have been ups and downs in my walk, I am so blessed to be His child. You are an amazing man and the Lord has used you mightily. I pray that you have a wonderful birthday. Thank you for your continued perseverance in His ministry". –K.B.

"Words cannot describe what your teaching has done for me. I have always loved the Lord, but often in my youth I would act in ways I know would displease Him. My Mother suggested to me that I read some of your books. Through your words I have felt the guidance of God. The love you show for mankind is beyond measure. Today I feel as though I have a deep, personal connection with God, and I hold you primarily responsible for that. Although we have never met, I consider you a very dear friend. I know we will likely never meet on earth, but when we do meet in Heaven I hope to convey to you in person all that you have meant in my life."
–B.H.

"Happy Birthday! I want to thank you for your ministry and for allowing me the opportunity to minister to others through your ministries. It has been an honor to serve others as a Chaplain for the Rapid Response Team in the aftermath of Katrina and the wildfires in San Diego. Most of all, I want to thank you for allowing God to use you so mightily to do His work."
–K.J.

"When I was just a kid (it was either 1963 or 1964) you came to Denver, Colorado, for a crusade, and I was among many that came forward to formally declare my allegiance to Christ. I am very grateful for your guidance in leading me to Jesus. God Bless you Billy!"
–C.S.

"Your ministry has given me the tools and the encouragement to share my faith in the Lord Jesus. I love the daily devotional along with the Question & Answer portion that has supported my beliefs. God bless you for all the people you have lead to Jesus Christ."
–J.M.

"God bless you. You have done so much for so many. I have admired your determination to reach all those around the world with the gospel. I just recently went to Franklin’s crusade and accepted Jesus into my life. I love you and the work your ministry does to bring others to Jesus. Have a wonderful birthday."
–S.L.

"I am pleased to send this message on your 90th b-day and believe it’s a privilege. Though I live far away in Asia, spiritually we are close, as we are one in Christ Jesus. I visit billygraham.org daily and listen to your sermons and never feel Billy Graham is preaching but our Lord Jesus. You definitely decrease and let Jesus increase. The spiritual impact is immense, and my earnest prayer is also that I too totally submit myself that He may increase."
–M.E.

"You have been an encouragement to me and you have always challenged me to live a life above reproach. I have been challenged by your lifestyle and your extraordinary dedication to God."
–J.B.

"I will never forget the opportunity that I had to lead a young couple to Christ and mentor them into active members of a local church at your Ottawa Crusade. God has used you mightily, and may His blessing continue to fall on you. Happy Birthday."
–T.L.

"God bless you, Mr. Graham, and thank you for your humble example."
–S.P.

"Back around 1957 you were in Richmond, Va., in a Crusade, I felt the Holy Spirit and went forward and rededicated my life. I have never been the same. I started reading my Bible and over all these years have fallen more and more in love with the Lord. God Bless You."
–S.

"I recently read Billy’s book The Journey: How to Live by Faith in an Uncertain World. I was raised in church and fell of the path sometime after high school; however, I got back on about four years ago. I have always prayed to the Lord, but I wanted more. I wanted to be closer! I wanted to be stronger! I wanted to be like Jesus, to express love the way Jesus expressed it! I read this book of Billy’s, and it spoke to my heart, mind and soul. After that book, I have not been the same person. It has opened my eyes in so many different ways, and I thank Billy for providing this wonderful book inspired by God for me to read."
–R.B

"I would like to thank Mr. Graham for bringing me to Jesus."
–M.G.

"Happy Birthday. I have been praying for you and your ministry since my husband and I worked in your Reno Crusade many years ago. I was a counselor and still have contact with one of the persons who accepted Christ during the Crusade."
–M.R.

"Dear Billy, I first heard you preach in San Diego in 1958. I went forward that day and began my walk with Jesus Christ. I actually ran down from the bleachers because I didn’t want to get there too late! Best decision I’ve ever made in my lifetime. Today, I would like to wish you a blessed birthday with the presence of our God being with you."
–W.B

"Dear Pastor Graham, I am now in my 50s, but I will always remember watching your crusades on TV as a teenager. One night in the 1970s, you gave the invitation, and I called in and made a commitment to Jesus Christ. I’ve never stopped walking with Him since then, by His grace."
–L.W.

"God bless you, Dr. Graham. I am from Kenya, and I first heard of Dr. Graham in 1994 when I was in college. I came across an old copy of Decision magazine. I liked it, and I wrote to him. In return, I received a book, pamphlets, and one year’s subscription to Decision magazine free. What a joy it was those days to receive Decision magazine by post all the way from U.S.A. I have been greatly encouraged over the years by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) ministry. You are and always will be in my prayers. Happy Birthday!"
–L.N.

"Dear Mr. Graham, I had a chance to visit your Library with a very special lady, my best friend’s mother. It was a wish of hers that one day before she died that she got to visit your Library. She loves the Lord so much that she cries when watching your Crusades. So she and I went to North Carolina. We got off the plane and went straight to the Library. It was beyond words. May God truly continue to bless you."
–L.L.

"I thank for you and your television ministry. It was through this ministry that I became a born-again Christian. I thank God for you, and thank you for listening to God’s call."
–V.P.

"I am from Ghana, West Africa. Words cannot describe the impact this man of God has had on me. I am so inspired by his love for God and his work in the vineyard of the Lord."
–P.A.

"When I was a child in the 1960s my brother, our friends and I would play ball in our backyard every evening after dinner. Every so often, Mom would appear at the back door of the house and holler real loud, "John, Marvin, you come home. Billy Graham’s on!" Our friends would laugh and mimic mom in a whiney voice, "Go home, John. Billy Graham’s on!” Then they would all laugh as we left. My brother and I didn’t mind at all. We would go home immediately. I have to tell you that those television crusades set the standard of living our lives a lot higher than they would have been. I grew to love Billy Graham’s sermons, and I have many of his and Ruth’s books."
–J.C.

"I wish Billy a great birthday. He has influenced my life for many years. I just had my 90th birthday also."
–J.

"I hope that Mr. Graham has a glorious birthday. He deserves it. I watch his old sermons on television and the Web site, and it impacts my life daily. He, along with my local church has helped to change my life. I now know that I will be in heaven. Thanks for that."
–J.A.

"I would like to take this opportunity to wish Mr. Graham a Happy Birthday. God has touched my life through him and through his son Franklin. I love coming to your Web site and reading daily devotionals as well as updates on Crusades that have been completed. It’s very encouraging to see the Lord shine through your life for decades, and I can’t wait to spend time with you in Heaven. You are an amazing role model, and I’m truly grateful to call you my Christian brother. May the Lord continue to bless you"
–J.K.

"Dear Evangelist Billy Graham, I am a 29-year-old youth evangelist from South Africa. The Lord saved me 10 years ago from drugs, alcohol and violence. One of the first books I received, after receiving Jesus as my Lord and Savior, was a copy of Just as I Am. Since then I have read most of your books. Today, because the Lord used your ministry to inspire me, I am a full-time evangelist. Your integrity, love for Jesus and compassion for souls will always motivate me and my wife as we continue winning thousands of young people for Jesus Christ. Happy Birthday, Mr. Graham. God bless You."
–F.J.

"I thank God for all these years you have served the Lord Almighty by bringing Good News to broken hearts and saving millions."
–E.I.

"Thank you Billy, for you faithful ministry over the years. I have enjoyed reading Decision magazine for many years. I find it provides a positive balance against all other media. I have also enjoyed reading your books and listening to Hour of Decision. The ongoing ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is a blessing to my family and I."
–A.P.
