III. <strong>The</strong> Amazing <strong>Ripple</strong> Effect<br />
<strong>of</strong> Billy Graham’s <strong>Ministry</strong><br />
US CBNNews.com by Mark Martin 02-27-2018<br />
As you can imagine there's a staggering ripple effect <strong>of</strong> lives changed when you<br />
consider evangelist Rev. Billy Graham shared the Gospel <strong>of</strong> Jesus Christ with nearly<br />
215 million people in live audiences in more than 185 countries and territories. He also<br />
reached hundreds <strong>of</strong> millions more through media.<br />
For example, I might not have written this article for CBN News, if it hadn't been for the<br />
ministry <strong>of</strong> Graham. You see, when my mother was 16, she went forward at a Billy<br />
Graham crusade to reaffirm her faith in Christ. She would later lead me to Jesus in our<br />
home when I was a child.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ministry <strong>of</strong> Graham had an impact on the father <strong>of</strong> my colleague, CBN<br />
videographer, Richey Boyd.<br />
"I remember very clearly as a child watching all <strong>of</strong> the Billy Graham crusades on<br />
television with my dad," Boyd wrote in an email to me. "<strong>The</strong> televised crusades were<br />
important to my dad, and he would always plan the evening at home around watching<br />
the crusade."<br />
