U.S. Senator James Lankford was the Youth Committee Chair for Billy Graham’s last crusade mission in Oklahoma back in 2003. He issued the following statement upon learning of the Reverend’s passing.
“Billy Graham was one of the greatest spiritual and moral leaders in American history. His ministry of love, reconciliation, hope, and salvation was world-changing. I thank God for his life and legacy. Graham’s clarity and love for people was contagious – he was, and will always be, a role model of integrity and grace. His work was also very impactful to me as I prepared for fulltime ministry; there is hardly anyone in ministry that was not impacted by Billy Graham.”
