Duluth, GA – Faith & Freedom Coalition Founder and Chairman Ralph Reed issued the following statement on the passing of the Rev. Billy Graham. 
“The entire world and Christendom has lost one of the great figures in its history with the passing of Billy Graham. He personally reached hundreds of millions of people with the Gospel message and generations of believers began their spiritual journey under his preaching, which was as unapologetic in its defense of the true faith as it was eloquent. A friend and advisor to twelve presidents, he understood the importance of citizenship in the Christian witness. Along with Charles Grandison Finney, Billy Sunday, and Dwight Moody, he was one of the towering figures in the history of American evangelicalism. He was admired in life and now will be greatly missed and will never be completely replaced. Billy Graham was a true American original and a modern-day champion for Christ.”
