Billy Graham

Although he was raised in a devout, churchgoing family, Billy Graham did not make a personal commitment to Christ until just before his 16th birthday. That decision, on November 1, 1934, would change the course of his life. Several years later, while studying at Florida Bible Institute (now Trinity College) in Temple Terrace, Florida, he sensed a strong call from God to become a preacher of the Gospel, and after a period of struggle, committed himself to that call. He continued his education at Wheaton College near Chicago, majoring in anthropology. He preached as often as possible and even served briefly as pastor of the United Gospel Tabernacle while maintaining a full class load. While at Wheaton, he met his future wife, Ruth McCue Bell, the daughter of medical missionaries in China; they were married shortly after graduation on August 13, 1943.

“Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season … do the work of an evangelist” (2 Timothy 4:2,5 NKJV).

"The family of Wheaton College alumni includes many famous names, but none more so than Billy Graham. His lifetime of preaching the Gospel took him to every corner of the world," says Wheaton College President Dr. Philip Ryken '88. "Yet despite his global influence, he never lost his humble dependence on God or simple love for Jesus Christ. We here at Wheaton will dearly miss the loving support, generous encouragement, and Christ-centered dedication he modeled for all of us."
