A Rare Look at the Spiritual Leader’s Life and Ministry!
BILLY GRAHAM: GOD’S AMBASSADOR
 New Documentary Premieres on UNC-TV, Wednesday, July 26, at 8 PM

Affectionately known as the “World’s Preacher” for more than 60 years, Reverend Billy Graham is one of the most influential and respected spiritual leaders of the 20th century. Billy Graham: God’s Ambassador, premiering Wednesday, July 26, at 8 PM, on UNC-TV, features two hours of interviews and rare archival footage from Dr. Graham’s early life, his ministry and his worldwide evangelical efforts.

For the first time, the Billy Graham Evangelical Association opened its storied archives to allow this intimate portrait of Dr. Graham. In the process, Gaither Television Production crews, as part of the Gaither Gospel Series, painstakingly researched the Billy Graham Archives at Wheaton College and crisscrossed the country talking with those closest to the spiritual leader.

The result, a non-musical documentary over six years in the making, includes interview footage with President George W. Bush, former President George H.W. Bush, NBC news anchor Brian Williams, close associates and family members.

Don’t miss this landmark film Wednesday, July 26, at 8 PM, on UNC-TV. Billy Graham: God's Ambassador also airs several times on UNC-NC—Saturday, July 29, at 5 PM and 8 PM; Tuesday, August 1 at 1 PM and 9 PM; and Wednesday, August 2, at midnight.
