Honouring Ruth Bell Graham - 1920-2007

Dear friends,

Late last night I learned that a precious woman of God, Ruth Bell Graham, went home to be with our Lord. I once heard someone say, "It's not how you start the race, but how you finish". What a finish to a life devoted to serving Jesus, and radiating His love!

As much as I deeply admire Billy Graham and his ministry, until recently, I knew little about the Graham family - particularly Ruth Graham Bell. I did not know that at the age of 13 she spent time in Pyongyang, North Korea, as well as doing missions in China. While reading about her, I discovered that she was a woman of faith, hope, and love. She was a Proverbs 31:10-31, woman. She was a woman deeply loved by her family, friends, and the all people whom the Lord divinely connected her with.

She raised the bar for all us to go higher and deeper in God and finish well...

Below is Ruth Bell Graham's tribute website which will broadcast her funeral this afternoon (2:00pm Eastern - 12:00pm Mountain time).
