Billy Graham was so focused on bringing his message into every endeavor\u2014even in something so simple as a sound check\u2014that he would somehow always find a way to do it.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the distinctives of Mr. Graham\u2019s ministry has been his ability to make positive points for the gospel in any situation,\u201d says Larry Ross, whose firm has handled media and public relations for Graham\u2019s organization for more than twenty-three years. \u201cYou can ask Billy Graham how he gets his suits dry-cleaned on the road, and he\u2019ll turn it into a gospel witness.<\/p>\n
\u201cI cut my teeth in the corporate world before I worked with Mr. Graham, and I set up numerous media interviews,\u201d Ross says. \u201cAlmost always before a TV interview, they do a microphone check, and they ask the interviewee to say something\u2014anything\u2014so they can adjust the audio settings. Often a corporate executive will count to ten, say their ABCs, or recite what he had for breakfast. Mr. Graham would always quote John 3:16\u2014\u2018For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I asked Mr. Graham why he does that, he replied, \u2018Because that way, if I am not able to communicate the gospel clearly during the interview, at least the cameraman will have heard it.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
