Billy Graham may have preached his final crusade when he packed out Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens New York. The event caused many to recall Billy's first New York crusade that lasted weeks and brought Billy national prominence. Since then, the man who grew up on a North Carolina farm has done more than any other single person to shape American evangelicalism. Recent news reports say Billy has declined an invitation to preach in London. Still, his remarkable career continues to be felt by millions around the world. Below we've collected our reports on that career.
