Billy Graham
“I know I’m going to heaven. I’m looking forward to it with great anticipation,” said Graham, who explains in the film how people can share that same hope.
At 96 years old, Billy Graham’s desire to share hope with the world is as strong as ever. Today, 7th of November, the day Graham celebrates his birthday, The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association have released “Heaven”, a film that includes a never-before-seen message from Billy Graham.
Graham’s message was recorded last year, while the aging-yet-still-passionate evangelist worked with a camera crew to capture his thoughts in a series of interviews at his home in Montreat.
For his 96th birthday, Graham planned a more subdued evening at home enjoying the company of family members visiting him during the week of his birthday. However, he hopes people will join him in watching Heaven, the latest “My Hope with Billy Graham” film.
“Although his physical condition keeps him homebound, he remains interested in current events and the ongoing work of the ministry that he began more than 60 years ago,” says Franklin Graham, his eldest son and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
“Opportunities like My Hope and the Heaven film are ways that we can help my father to continue the work that God called us to do. Please pray for my father, and for those who will watch this film — that they too may know the peace found in Jesus Christ”, he continued.
As he turns 96, Graham continues to struggle with deteriorating eyesight and hearing. But he does have the ability to begin and end many days with devotions, Bible reading and prayer with his staff. He also enjoys the opportunity to spend time with family and close friends who visit with him.

Who is Billy Graham?
Only God could know the important role Billy Graham would play in world evangelism. From the humble beginnings on a dairy farm to his decision for Christ at a local revival on the edge of Charlotte, North Carolina, to his travels around the world speaking in stadiums filled to capacity, Billy Graham has pursued a singular vision — to share the love of Jesus Christ with all who would listen.
In doing so he has met with presidents, kings, queens, celebrities, and everyday men, women, and children. No matter his audience, the message is still the same.
“Everywhere I go I find that people… both leaders and individuals… are asking one basic question,” Billy Graham has said. “‘Is there any hope for the future?’ My answer is the same, ‘Yes, through Jesus Christ.’”
“I have had the privilege of preaching the Gospel on every continent… And I have found that when I present the simple message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with authority, quoting from the very Word of God — He takes that message and drives it supernaturally into the human heart.”
— Billy Graham
As “My Hope with Billy Graham” kicked off in the United States & Canada in November 2013, on Billy Graham’s 95th birthday, millions of people watched My Hope via a national Fox News Channel broadcast and hundreds of local broadcasts across the United States and Canada.
Through the efforts of 26,000 churches, My Hope was also shown in thousands of living rooms, shelters, prisons and more via DVD and web streaming. To date, more than 110,000 people have indicated decisions for Christ as a result of My Hope.
My Hope combines the impact of video programs with the power of personal relationships. Christians can share the Gospel message with friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors using one of several evangelistic video programs featuring life-changing testimonies & powerful messages from Billy Graham.
