Billy Graham Library Reaches Significant Milestone 

According to Premier Christian News,  Gabriel Salstein, a 17-year-old from Miami, Florida, was the two-millionth milestone guest. Gabriel came to the Billy Graham family with his family. The Salstein family visited the Billy Graham Library in 2020 after Gabriel by Billy Graham’s autobiography, ‘Just As I Am.’

Gabriel’s mother, Javiera Salstein, who returned to the library along with her husband Alex and their five children, said; 

“I just want you guys to know what you do here matters. It influenced my son in a very impactful way.” 

She continued;

“We were looking forward to being here, surrounded by people who love the Lord and are dedicated to continuing what Mr. Billy Graham started.”

The Billy Graham Library consistently ranks #1 as an attraction site in Charlotte on TripAdvisor. Visitors learn about Billy Graham’s life and ministry at the library, which opened in 2007 and has welcomed guests from all 50 States of the USA and more than 100 countries.

Franklin Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, said,

“When visitors enter the Billy Graham Library, they enter through doors at the foot of a 40-foot-tall glass cross. When the Library was built, I had no idea that over two million people would be passing through those doors to hear the Gospel and see how God used a North Carolina farmer’s son to reach millions of people around the world with the message of the cross—that ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life’ (John 3:16). This Good News—the Gospel—is the same message my father preached for more than 70 years.”
