Speaking Time in Gatlinburg:
Wednesday, October 29, 2008 • 7:00 PM (After George Beverly Shea)

Will, the grandson of Billy Graham and son of BGEA President and CEO Franklin Graham, is the third generation to lead crusade events under the BGEA banner.

William Franklin Graham IV (Will) is the third generation of Grahams to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ under the banner of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). Will is the grandson of Billy Graham and the oldest son of Franklin Graham.

Since beginning his North American evangelistic ministry in April 2006, he has spoken to more than 50,000 during his Will Graham Celebrations in the United States and Canada. Over 1,600 have made personal commitments to Christ during these multi-day outreaches.

Will has led BGEA events internationally since October 2004, when he launched a BGEA of Canada outreach where he preached the Gospel message to thousands of students in Barrie, Ontario. Since that time, Will has spoken at five of these youth-oriented one-day evangelistic events to a combined 18,081, with nearly 1,000 registering decisions for Christ.

“I’m not trying to be the next Billy Graham, I’m just Will Graham,” says the ordained minister. “I have a burden in my heart to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If that’s to an arena full of people or one person on the street, I will do whatever God is calling me to do.”

Will also serves BGEA as Assistant Director of the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in Asheville, N.C.

Will graduated from Liberty University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Religion and in 2001 graduated from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree.

Will and his wife, Kendra, have two daughters, Christine Jane (CJ) and Rachel Austin, and a son, William Franklin Graham V.
