Billy Graham Celebrated His 95th Birthday in Asheville, North Carolina Yesterday

Legendary evangelist Billy Graham celebrated his 95th birthday in Asheville, North Carolina last night. The party, held in Graham's hometown, was attended by several star guests and friends and family. Graham sat at a table with family members, Donald Trump, and Sarah Palin. Palin said, "Billy Graham, we need you around another 95 years. We need Billy Graham's message to be heard, I think, today more than ever."

Bill Clinton, who was one of the invited guests, could not attend the party.

FoxNews.com wrote, "The event began with the debut of a new video of Billy Graham from his home as part of a nationwide religious outreach called "My Hope." The video features clips of Graham filmed this year at his home in Montreat. Also included are audio excerpts of his early days, when he took his crusades around the nation and the world. The elder Graham has been hospitalized for a number of health-related issues in the past few years and now uses a wheelchair. While he wasn't scheduled to make a speech, he did offer thanks to Cliff Barrows, who led the choirs that sang at Billy Graham crusades for decades."

Billy Graham's message of hope has been spread for years by the evangelist and he has served as a pastor for several presidents of the United States.
