Evangelist Rev. Billy Graham Close to Death, According to Family Reports Dec 15th, 2013 by Matt.
Late last week, the family of renowned Evangelist, Rev. Billy Graham, had announced that he was close to death, and was requesting prayer.
A frail and ailing Rev. Billy Graham is “close to going home to be with the Lord,” according to his grandson, Will Graham.
Will Graham, the son of Franklin Graham, CEO of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, says his 95-year-old grandfather is not suffering but that “old age has caught up to him and is sucking the life out of him.”
“I wish (God) would give him strength, but I don’t think he needs strength anymore,’ Will Graham told the Christian website Assist News Service. “It’s time to go home.”
Since celebrating his 95th birthday on Nov. 7 at a North Carolina gala attended by more than 1,000 people, Billy Graham’s tenuous health has been declining. He was recently hospitalized for pulmonary problems and has been dealing with Parkinson’s disease for more than 20 years. He has also battled pneumonia, broken hips, and prostate cancer.
So, I would share in their request and pray for Rev Graham and his family. He has done so much for so many, that it is the very least we can do.
