He provided spiritual counsel to 12 sitting U.S. presidents and numerous world leaders, earning him the nickname “Pastor to the Presidents.” His humility and kindness earned him the respect and admiration of people from all backgrounds.

Graham’s influence extended beyond the pulpit, as he counseled world leaders and shaped global events.

The pedestal will feature verses from the Bible that highlight Graham’s lifelong commitment to sharing the Gospel.

Rev. Franklin Graham, Billy’s son, expressed his gratitude for the honor, saying, “This is a great honor, and my father would be humbled and grateful.” He added, “What I appreciate most is that this is an opportunity for everyone in future generations who sees the statue to be reminded of God’s love, grace, and forgiveness.”
