Only if more people would behave and share JESUS with all like Billy Graham! My hero! I fell in love with Billy when I first heard him as a radio dj at KGCX in Sidney, Montana back in 1979! I would put the ‘Hour of Decision’ on the reel to reel machine at 1pm Sundays and our listeners loved Billy! I was the sports director of the station and I was full of passion for sports! What got my attention about Billy was his enthusiasm! Billy could get pretty loud back in the day, he was so full of passion for JESUS and all people.
By the way, KGCX was a 5,000 Watt Am, we where heard in parts of Canada! sadly the station went dark several years ago! So very sad! The ownership group got into a feud and turned it off! Awful stuff when people fight. The Sidney, Montana and Williston, North Dakota area lost a gem. KGCX was the only station at that time to have studios in two different towns and two different states and two different time zones!
Billy has made me a better man. Read his books. You will learn much! America needs another Billy Graham so badly. It is getting very dark here, much division and compromise of God’s Word from many pulpits! We are living in a time when just 4% of Americans have a Biblical Worldview and only 37% of Pastors have a Biblical Worldview. Barna Research.
* “46 percent of adults are now unchurched – an increase from the 35 percent in 2005.”
* “62 percent of the unchurched consider themselves to be Christian.”
Stands out like a very sore thumb, as we said back in the day, the fact is is a much worse than that. It is the downfall of the Christian Church in America. More Here

WASHINGTON (BP) – Salvation in Christ Jesus was offered in National Statuary Hall May 16 at the unveiling of a statue of the iconic late global evangelist Billy Graham, which has John 3:16 and John 14:6 carved in its base.
“Friends, God’s grace is undeserved, but through Christ it is freely given. And it is by trusting in God’s sacrifice that we are saved,” U.S. Sen. Ted Budd (R-NC) said in the unveiling ceremony. “If you’ve not made a decision for yourself, I hope, I pray, that you will.”
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and members of Graham’s family joined the North Carolina Congressional delegation in unveiling the statue that replaces that of early 20th-century N.C. governor and staunch white supremacist Charles Aycock.
“Today, we acknowledge that he is a better representation of our state than the statue it replaces, which brought memories of a painful history of racism,” Cooper said. “Not that Rev. Graham was perfect – he would have been the first to tell us that. … But he believed, as many of us do, that there is redemption, and he gave his life to remembering that message.”
U.S. Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) honored Graham as a trailblazer in race relations.
“During an era in the 1950s when leaders in the South openly embraced segregation, it was Billy Graham who spoke out against it,” Tillis said, describing Graham as having been a staple in the Tillis family. “He insisted in his sermons that they be integrated. He shared his platform with Black ministers, including one named Martin Luther King Jr. More Here
