FIRST ON FOX: A new Billy Graham statue is going to be placed at the U.S. Capitol building next week, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association shared with Fox News Digital on Monday afternoon. 'It’s a rare honor,' the organization said in materials shown to Fox News Digital. The statue is to be unveiled on Thursday, May 16, in a ceremony beginning at 11 a.m.
This isn’t just a statue of my father — it represents the One that he surrendered his life to and the message that he preached for more than 80 years, that God loves us and He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to save us from our sins,' said Rev. Franklin Graham to Fox News Digital in comments shared by email Monday afternoon. 'What I appreciate most is that this is an opportunity for everyone in future generations who see the statue to be reminded of God’s love, grace and forgiveness.
media spokesperson for Speaker Johnson's office confirmed the event. Three-time Grammy Award winner Michael W. Smith is expected to perform as well. 'He would not want the attention on himself but on God’s Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.' 'This is a great honor and my father would be humbled and grateful,' Rev. Graham also said. 'At the same time, he would not want the attention on himself but on God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
