Billy Graham's Childhood

To learn about how Billy Graham became a great leader, I am learning about his childhood. He was born November 7, 1918 in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was the first of four children, two boys and two girls. The entire family was Christian Presbyterian, and attended church regularly. In 1933, when the Prohibition ended,Billy's father made him drink beer until he threw up, he did this so they would both hate alcohol. At the age of 16, Billy attended many revival meetings run by the evangelist, Mordecai Ham. Even though Billy was a well-behaved child, Ham's sermons on sin spoke to him. The sermons made him want to follow Christ as much as he could, and give his life to him.
