Billy Graham (1983: Doomsday)

William Franklin "Billy" Graham, Jr. (born November 7, 1918) was a Christian evangelist and a spiritual advisor to several United States Presidents pre-Doomsday. Graham was a very well-known religious figure throughout the U.S. and in many parts of the non-Communist world because of his crusades, which drew tens of thousands of people and were televised both in the U.S. and in numerous countries.

Graham and his family were in their home of Montreat, North Carolina on Doomsday. He soon became one of the key spiritual and cultural figures in the area, his sermons helping to encourage both adherents and non-adherents of Christianity to persevere and rebuild their lives, while looking to God for help and hope. Graham resumed his crusade ministry in 1989, preaching to a capacity crowd at a high school football stadium in Cleveland, East Tennessee. He would preach more crusades on a yearly basis throughout Blue Ridge, East Tennessee, and Piedmont.

He has become ill in recent years and rarely leaves his Montreat home. He taped a message for a Mexican Christian television network in December 2009, intended to be shown around the world via television and in movie theaters, as part of his final crusade.
