'''William "Billy" Franklin Graham''' (born November 7, 1918) is a prominent evangelical [[Christian]] preacher. Active for more than 50 years, Billy Graham was originally known for tent revivals and soon became known for city "crusades" in large auditoriums. Arguably one of the most well known Christian preachers of his time, Mr. Graham has inspired over 210 million people in 185 countries around the world, and has a widely distributed syndicated column. Now well into his 80's and generally retired, he still pops up from time to time to headline more events. His son [[Franklin Graham|Franklin]] has largely taken over his father's role and is now in charge of the day to day runnings of the Billy Graham ministry. <ref>http://www.dailyherald.com/suburbanliving/story.asp?id=295087</ref> <ref>http://www.billygraham.org/mediaRelations/bios.asp?p=1</ref>
