William Franklin Graham IV

Executive Vice President and Evangelist

William Franklin Graham IV (Will) is the third generation of Grahams to proclaim the Gospel under the banner of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. The grandson of Billy Graham and the oldest son of Franklin Graham, Will has shared the hope of Jesus with more than one million people across six continents since beginning his evangelistic ministry in 2006.

“I’m not trying to be the next Billy Graham; I’m just Will Graham,” says the ordained minister. “I have a burden in my heart to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. If that’s to an arena full of people or one person on the street, I will do whatever God is calling me to do.”

Will has taken the Great Commission (Mark 16:15) to heart, going into the whole world to proclaim the Good News of the Gospel to all who may hear. His travels have taken him to the outback of Australia, the slums of India, the islands of the Philippines, the villages of Kenya, and into former Communist countries like Romania and Albania. Over the course of more than 80 evangelistic outreaches in the United States and around the world, over 100,000 people have responded to begin a relationship with Jesus.

In addition to his evangelistic outreaches, Will serves as Executive Vice President of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, giving leadership to all aspects of the organization that his grandfather founded in 1950.

Will graduated from Liberty University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Religion and in 2001 graduated from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree.

Will and his wife, Kendra, have two daughters, Christine Jane (CJ) and Rachel Austin, and a son, William Franklin Graham V (Quinn).
