"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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.
