Cliff Barrows
Profile

"The Christian faith is a singing faith, and a good way to express it and share it with others is in community singing."

These are the words of Cliff Barrows, Music and Program Director for the Billy Graham Team, who has led congregational singing and crusade choirs around the world. Music has played a significant role in the programming of the Billy Graham crusades, for which he has been responsible for since their beginning in Los Angeles in 1949. Together, he and Mr. Graham have shared the Gospel around the globe.

Mr. Barrows has also hosted the weekly "Hour of Decision" radio program since its inception in 1950.

For significant contributions to Gospel music, Mr. Barrows was inducted into the Nashville Gospel Music Hall of Fame in April 1988, and into the Religious Broadcasting Hall of Fame (NRB) in February 1996.

Mr. Barrows was born and reared in Ceres, California. He and his wife, Ann, make their home in Marvin, North Carolina.
