Graham, Billy (William Franklin) (1918– )

US Protestant evangelist, known for the dramatic staging and charismatic eloquence of his preaching. Graham has preached to millions during worldwide crusades and on television, bringing many thousands to conversion to, or renewal of, Christian faith.

Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, he graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois. His first evangelical crusade was Youth for Christ 1949. From then, and under the auspices of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association from 1950, he conducted worldwide tours. Graham wrote Peace with God (1953), World Aflame (1965), and The Challenge (1969).

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, founded in 1950, has been run by Graham's son Franklin since 2000. In November 2001, it was announced that the organization's headquarters would move to Charlotte, North Carolina, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, where it had been located for 50 years.
