Billy Graham’s ministry contributed immensely to rekindling a zeal for missions throughout the world. He was able to minister the love of Christ to people from all walks of life. From a young child reared up in the worship of heathen deities to Commander in Chiefs that sit in the Oval office of the White House. In Matt 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God”. (NIV) Billy Graham had a unique gift that is rare today, in becoming all things to all people. 1Cor 9:22 (NIV) He effectively ministered to both Republican and Democrat Presidents. He could bring both sides of the aisle together through being a peacemaker. In the present, the world needs more peacemakers like Billy Graham in our divided world. Someone with a zeal to bring black and white together, the conservative and liberal together, and police and protestors together. Billy Graham is quoted as saying, “Eleven O Clock on Sunday morning remains the most racially segregated hour of the week!” From there Billy Graham contributed greatly to missions. He truly rekindled a zeal in millions of people as preached many Gospel Crusades throughout the world. Billy Graham was passionately in his zeal to see people accept Christ as their Lord and Savior. It was not just him preaching only, but thousands joined in on the Gospel Crusades to pray, band together, work side by side to reach the lost. The impacts of Billy Graham’s Gospel Crusades can still be felt today. On Fire Missions pays tribute to the enduring legacy of Billy Graham as a contributor to worldwide missions!
