Billy Graham's Funeral to be Streamed Live Online Friday, March 2; Here's How You Can Watch It

BGEA : Mar 1, 2018  BillyGraham.org

As millions are expected to watch the funeral service for "God's Ambassador," the man himself would've wanted only one thing: for the Gospel to be spread. His life's work will continue as the love and hope of Jesus Christ is shared on Friday.

[BillyGraham.org] This Friday, March 2, Billy Graham's private funeral service will be held at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte, North Carolina. About 2,300 invited guests are expected to attend. Following the service, Mr. Graham will be buried beside his late wife, Ruth, whose grave is at the foot of the cross-shaped brick walkway in the Library's Prayer Garden.

While the funeral service is private, the public can watch a live stream beginning at 10 a.m. ET. The service itself is scheduled to begin at noon ET.

The funeral is expected to last 90 minutes. It will be held under a large tent that has been constructed in the main parking lot in front of the Library. The tent serves as a reminder of how Mr. Graham's ministry launched under "The Canvas Cathedral"-a white canvas tent during a 1949 Crusade in downtown Los Angeles, where 350,000 people heard him share the Gospel over a period of eight weeks.

"It was Mr. Graham's explicit intent that his funeral service reflect and reinforce the Gospel message he preached for more than 60 years," said Mark DeMoss, spokesman for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Mr. Graham's oldest son, Franklin, will bring the funeral message, and Dr. Donald Wilton and Dr. David Bruce will speak at the interment service. Dr. Wilton was Mr. Graham's pastor and a close friend in recent years. Dr. Bruce served for 23 years as Mr. Graham's executive assistant.

President Donald Trump, who released a statement last week in regards to Mr. Graham, plans to attend the service.

As millions are expected to watch the funeral service for "God's Ambassador," the man himself would've wanted only one thing: for the Gospel to be spread. His life's work will continue as the love and hope of Jesus Christ is shared on Friday...
