WE'D LIKE TO EXPRESS OUR SINCERE SYMPATHIES...

TO THE ENTIRE GRAHAM FAMILY AND ORGANIZATION.

轉承詞

AT THE SAME TIME, WE GIVE THANKS TO GOD FOR THE LIFE AND MINISTRY OF BILLY GRAHAM.

WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR HIS BOLDNESS IN DECLARING THE GOOD NEWS OF CHRIST ALL OVER THE WORLD.

HIS LIFE, HIS INFLUENCE IS A TESTIMONY TO THE GRACE OF GOD,

AND TODAY, AS A TRIBUTE TO THE LIFE AND INFLUENCE OF BILLY GRAHAM,

WE OFFER THIS ENCORE PRESENTATION OF BILLY GRAHAM'S LIFE STORY:

WINTLEY PHIPPS: EVERY LIFE ECHOES THE ORDINARY, THE SIMPLE BEGINNINGS OF A COMMON JOURNEY.

FOR SOME, THAT JOURNEY LEADS TO EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

FOR OTHERS, THE JOURNEY IS FAR LESS EPIC, BUT NO LESS IMPORTANT.

THEIR INFLUENCE MAY NOT BE GLOBAL AND ONLY STRETCH ACROSS THE STREET OR TO A SMALL CHILD,

BUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT IS THERE FOR EVERYONE.

CAN ONE PERSON INDEED MAKE SUCH A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT...

THAT THE WORLD AROUND THEM IS AFFECTED IN SOME WAY?

HISTORY IS FULL OF EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE...

NAMES MANY OF US WOULD RECOGNIZE, FROM BEETHOVEN TO THE BEATLES,

WHO INFLUENCED OUR CULTURE, MUSIC, FASHION AND ART.

FROM EINSTEIN TO BILL GATES, PIONEERS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY.

THEN THERE ARE THE EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE IT WOULD AFFECT...

THEY CHANGED HOW WE THINK AND ACT. THEY EVEN CHANGED LIVES:

WE'RE HERE AT THE BILLY GRAHAM LIBRARY IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA,

BOTH STAND AS AN INSPIRATIONAL REMINDER TO THE EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENTS...

GOD CAN ACHIEVE WITH ONE ORDINARY PERSON WHO IS TRULY DEVOTED TO HIM.

WHO WAS EXPECTED TO MILK HIS SHARE OF THE COW HERD,

AND TO WORK AROUND THE FARM AS MUCH AS HE COULD WITH HIS BROTHER.

AND HIS FOLKS WERE VERY COMMON BUT VERY GOD-FEARING PEOPLE,

AND THEY HAD DEVOTIONS AND THEY WERE EXPECTED TO ATTEND CHURCH,

HE WASN'T BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN HIS MOUTH.

HE HAD A... JUST A LOVE FOR PEOPLE, A LOVE FOR THE LAND,

AND A LOVE TO JUST BE BILL, JUST PLAIN BILL.

BILLY'S MOTHER: WE HAD THE DAIRY BARN AND WE HAD TWO LARGE SILOS.

THE FARM CONSISTED OF ABOUT 200 ACRES OR A LITTLE MORE.

WE WERE JUST ORDINARY COUNTRY PEOPLE, AND WE HAD VERY FEW NEIGHBORS ON PARK ROAD.

ABOUT THREE OTHER FAMILIES, REALLY, WERE NEIGHBORS FOR A LONG, LONG TIME,

HE NEVER HAS LOST TOUCH WITH THE HUMBLE BEGINNINGS,

LIVING IN A... IN A... JUST A SIMPLE HOME,

IN A BARN MILKING COWS BEFORE HE WENT TO SCHOOL.

THAT'S JUST, THAT'S STILL PART OF HIS LIFE.

HE'S PROUD OF THE FACT THAT HE'S A FARMER'S... A FARMER'S SON.

WINTLEY: WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT A COUNTRY BOY FROM NORTH CAROLINA...

WOULD BECOME ONE OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY?

AND HIS JOURNEY WOULD START ONE LATE FALL EVENING BY RELUCTANTLY ATTENDING...

AN EVANGELISTIC MEETING HELD BY A BAPTIST PREACHER NAMED MORDECAI HAM.

IN 1934, WILLIAM GRAHAM WALKED OUT THAT DOOR, AND WOULD NEVER RETURN THE SAME.

A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY WOULD HAVE AN ENCOUNTER WITH TRUTH THAT WOULD SET HIM ON A LIFE-LONG JOURNEY.

I CAN THINK OF MR. GRAHAM'S LIFE, SEVERAL MOMENTS OF TRUTH.

ONE WAS WHEN HE MET THE LORD JESUS FACE TO FACE AT A MORDECAI HAM MEETING HERE IN CHARLOTTE.

HE HEARD HIM PREACH AND AS A 16-YEAR-OLD STUDENT,

THAT EITHER JESUS CHRIST WAS WHO HE CLAIMED TO BE,

OR ELSE HE WAS A FRAUD, A CHARLATAN, A LIAR.

AND HE SAID, "I JUST DECIDED TO TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD AND I TRUSTED HIM."

AND THAT WAS A GREAT MOMENT OF TRUTH FOR BILLY.

WHILE MOST OF THE WORLD WOULD COME TO KNOW THE NAME OF THIS TEENAGE BOY,

FEW WOULD REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE PERSON WHO WAS INSPIRATIONAL IN STARTING HIS JOURNEY.

HISTORY HOLDS WITHIN ITS SHADOWS ANOTHER TYPE OF INDIVIDUAL WHO WOULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE:

THE PERSON OF MORDECAI HAM, WHO WAS MERELY USED TO PLANT A SEED.

THE MESSAGE OF MORDECAI HAM WAS THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS,

THE LOVE AND FORGIVENESS OF JESUS CHRIST.

FOR YOU SEE, THIS IS HOW THE JOURNEY TO EXTRAORDINARY BEGINS.

AND IT DOESN'T REQUIRE MONEY, STATUS, EDUCATION OR PRIVILEGES.

NOW, MY FATHER HAD NO IDEA WHAT GOD HAD PLANNED FOR HIM,

AND HE DID IT PUBLICLY AND THE NEXT YEAR... OR THE NEXT DAY HE WENT TO SCHOOL,

SOMEBODY SAW HIM DOWN THERE AND CALLED HIM PREACHER GRAHAM AND TRIED TO EMBARRASS HIM.

BUT MY FATHER JUST SAID, "LORD, HERE'S MY LIFE AND I'M YOURS."

AND AS A RESULT OF THAT, GOD TOOK MY FATHER,

AND TOOK THAT BOY OFF THE FARM AND USED HIM IN A REMARKABLE WAY,

BUT YOU SEE, GOD CAN DO THAT FOR ANYBODY THAT SAYS YES TO HIM,

WHEN YOU SUBMIT YOUR LIFE TO GOD AND RECEIVE CHRIST BY FAITH,

HE BEGINS THE PROCESS OF DOING THE EXTRAORDINARY WITHIN THE ORDINARY.

IT IS THEN HE IS ABLE TO DO AN INCREDIBLE WORK IN YOU, WITH YOU AND THROUGH YOU.

AS BILLY GRAHAM WOULD READ AND STUDY HIS BIBLE,

NOT ONLY DID HE LEARN ABOUT GOD AND GROW IN HIS FAITH,

BUT HE ALSO UNDERSTOOD THAT THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST HAD TO BE SHARED.

HE WAS COMMITTED TO THE TRUTH, AND WILLING TO DO WHATEVER GOD PROMPTED.

IN THE FALL OF 1949, LOS ANGELES AREA CHURCHES WOULD INVITE BILLY GRAHAM...

TO COME TO LOS ANGELES TO HOLD A REVIVAL TENT MEETING.

AFTER TWO WEEKS OF MEDIOCRE ATTENDANCE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASY TO CALL IT QUITS.

HOWEVER, BILLY GRAHAM REMAINED FAITHFUL TO HIS CALL OF PREACHING THE WORD,
