Franklin Graham 

On a cold November night in 1983, 31-year-old Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, was asked to preach for the first time in his life. Longtime friend and evangelist John Wesley White urged Franklin to share the pulpit for one night. To Graham, whose job as the head of relief organization Samaritan's Purse often put him in bullet-dodging, life and death situations, the task was a daunting one. Not only did he have to overcome the pressure of following in his father's mighty footsteps, but he also had to overcome a rebellious past that included drinking, smoking, and running from God.
Franklin reluctantly accepted the invitation and preached that night, with surprising results, especially for the son of Billy Graham. Not one of the 1,000 people in attendance responded when Graham issued the call for them to "come forward" and give their lives to Christ. Following that disheartening experience, Graham swore he'd never preach again.
But White felt sure Franklin had a gift like his father's and finally persuaded him to preach again in 1989 at an evangelistic Festival in Juneau, Alaska. This time, the people responded. "They packed the place, drunks and prostitutes," said White. "He gave the invitation and they poured down. It was a miracle, and he knew it."
Since then, Franklin has led as many as 5 evangelistic Festivals each year for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA). To date, he has led more than 100 Festivals in locations from Wichita, Kan., to Sydney, Australia, speaking to more than 3.4 million people. While he preached his largest Festival to date in Peru, speaking to 207,000 people, Graham is committed to visiting many smaller areas where his father's crusades normally would not go.
