As the world celebrates the life time of America's renowned evangelist Billy Graham, the Christian community the world over have been sharing accolades of their encounter with the evangelist.
Gospel song writer and artist Don Meon took to his Instagram page and wrote: " Billy Graham - In Remembrance: I was privileged to minister with Billy Graham many years ago at his South African crusade in Johannesburg.
But my greatest memory is the fact that my father in law (an Amish-Man) somehow heard Bill Graham preaching the simple message of salvation on a transistor radio (forbidden in the Amish) in 1959. He knelt down and gave his life to Christ.
His words, "the sky got bluer, the trees and grass got greener." because of that moment, the entire family as saved, including my sweet Laura."
Pastor Paul Adefarasin of House on The Rock Church Lagos wrote: " I join the Christian Community and the world to celebrate the illustrious and exemplary life of Evangelist Billy Graham who has gone to be with the Lord at the age of 99. He was a role model and a hero to many as well as a voice that has echoed for generations.
A man I particularly respect - he was Counselor to kings, a Pastor to Pastors, Priest to Presidents and a consumate Preacher of the Word of God. Although he will greatly missed here on earth, I am certain that he i walking the streets of gold in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and oragnisations at this time. he lived a life of remarkable impact and we will all miss him dearly. A legend has gone home. #BillyGraham"
