And, world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham is still making plans for future ministry, despite recently turning 82. Although Graham laid out strategy for the management of the organization that bears his name, he says has no plans to retire. In fact, he is preparing for the “Billy Graham Television Special” slated to air December 2nd through the 16th . Meanwhile, the ministry’s board of directors appointed son Franklin Graham as BGEA’s chief executive officer. The younger Graham pledged to keep the group’s focus squarely on the work of evangelism.
