The frail Graham turns 90 on November 7, and sumissions will be accepted until November 1, the BGEA said in a statement. “My father is a humble man who would never expect to be honored and recognized like this on his birthday,” said Franklin Graham, BGEA president and CEO and Graham’s eldest son. “We urge all who made a commitment to Jesus Christ through my father’s ministry to share your story or simple greeting, as nothing could uplift him more on this special day.”
