After Billy Graham passed away, people flocked to the grounds of the Billy Graham Library in order to leave tributes to “America’s Pastor.” At the Library gates, many left flowers and notes in remembrance of a humble farm boy who became God’s evangelist to the world.

Billy Graham’s ministry touched the lives of people of every age, race and background. His legacy continues at the Billy Graham Library where his words resonate with the simple message he preached around the world. Billy Graham said, “Everywhere I go I find that people … both leaders and individuals … are asking one basic question, ‘Is there any hope for the future?’ My answer is the same, ‘Yes, through Jesus Christ.’”
