- Ruth Bell Graham - 1920 - 2007
a wonderful wife, mother
and disciple of our Lord Jesus ChristPlease checkout this lovely link from the Graham Ministry in tribute to Ruth Bell Graham: http://www.billygraham.org/RBG_default.asp
I recently read Billy Graham's autobiography titled; Just As I Am and found it very inspiring. It was interesting reading the history of both the family and the ministry. They made great impact as they focused on large metropolitan areas. I love their commitment to working with various parts of the Christian community and truly being an agent for unity in the body of Christ. Although with such a public persona, it would be easy to see Billy Graham as a national superstar all by himself, that just wasn't the case. Billy Graham was definitely a team player, which can easily be demonstrated through the longevity of those that worked with him throughout the organization. I recently put up a post (July 12) with a message from Don Basham, on the importance of being number two, it's hard to overestimate the importance of those who put aside their ego and serve alongside others.
On the family front that certainly describes a godly wife, mother and disciple such as Ruth Graham. She had plans of her after Wheaton College to serve as a missionary in Asia, and struggled to lay down that vision and plan and instead marry a young preacher by the name of Billy Graham. Thank you, Ruth for being Christ's servant and such an example in the body of Christ. (…)

- Mark Noll - The Explosion of Christianity in the Global South
What's happening in the Global South in regards to the Christian faith is nothing short of astounding. Much of it goes unnoticed in North America, but it has major implications for the future. I personally welcome De-Americanizing of the church and its outreach, I think we have much to learn from brothers and sisters throughout world who are living with less and loving the Lord. Professor Mark Noll of Wheaton College and now Notre Dame University certainly gives a good overview in this lecture. (…)
