Sarah Palin on Meeting Billy Graham

Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on November 30, 2009

Last week former vice presidential candidate and Alaskan governor Sarah Palin met with Billy Graham. She had dinner with Billy as well as Franklin Graham, accompanied by some of her family. Billy Graham issued the following statement afterword:

“It was an honor having Governor Palin and her family in our home this evening. I, like many people, have been impressed with her strong commitment to her faith, to family and love of country. I appreciated hearing her speak of her own spiritual journey and her life in Alaska. I shared with her my own memories of preaching in the Sullivan Arena in Anchorage in 1984.

“We had an opportunity to pray together. Life in the spotlight is not easy and I pray that whatever lies ahead for this family that their faith in God and His Son, Jesus Christ, would remain strong and that God would put a hedge of protection around her and all those she holds dear. Sarah and her family will always be welcome in the Graham home.”

Sarah Palin is also featured on BillyGraham.org talking about facing challenges, her faith and the experience of meeting Billy Graham.

This encounter does at least add some substance to the previous comments about Palin attributed to Graham.
