That Jesus Christ is God in the form of human flesh, who comes out of heaven to save sinners from our sin. He died on the Cross in our place, to save us from our sins. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." Jesus died for us. If anyone puts their faith and trust in Him, He will save them from their sins. For all. That is my father's message even today, the message of the gospel. " by Franklin Graham

Franklin Graham, President and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association spoke at the press conference Introducing the NC Museum of History's Newest Exhibit: 

The life and story of a North Carolinian whom God has used to reach others for Christ.

It was endearing to hear Franklin Graham talk about his father, Billy Graham:

"On Saturday, November 7, Dad will take a bite out of every one of his Birthday Cakes. Last year, that was fifteen different cakes. He is doing well and doesn't have any ailments. His biggest issue is his hearing and his eye sight is not really good. When you are close, he knows who you are. His challenge is that he is 97 years of age.  

We are SO grateful that he is still with us today.  Dad has written latest and last book, "Where I Am" published this year at age 96 years. He misses Mother (Ruth Graham) very much.

This is going to give another generation the opportunity to see what God can do with your life, for any life that saying "yes" to Jesus Christ. An opportunity to see what God can do with a farm boy, that God can use to go around the world and preach the gospel. 

This Exhibit will give another generation an opportunity to see what God can do with saying Yes to Him with your life.  God can use a rural North Carolina boy.

"I am still convinced, only Christ can meet the deepest needs of our world and our hearts."
