Will Graham - 'Lord: whatever you do don't make me a pastor!'

The Profile

The grandson of Billy Graham told God that the last thing he wanted to do was become a church leader, "they're over-worked and under paid who wants that headache?"

Perhaps it's surprising the grandson of one of the most famous evangelists of all time would want to do anything but join the family business. But that's exactly what he did, representing the third generation of the Graham legacy in Christian outreach.

He now serves as the executive director of the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove in North Carolina, a retreat and discipleship centre and is also an associate evangelist with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA).

In this episode of The Profile he speaks to Premier Christianity's Deputy Editor Emma Fowle about his early life and how important it is for him to reach out to different areas of the world and preach The Gospel.
