His life reached hundreds of millions through television, video, film and webcasts. Born William Franklin Graham Jr. KBE, he was an American evangelical Christian evangelist and an ordained Southern Baptist minister who became well known internationally after 1949.

In his six decades of television, Graham hosted annual Billy Graham Crusades, which ran from 1947 until his retirement in 2005.

Graham preached to live audiences of nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings, including BMS World Mission and Global Mission.
