Billy Graham on Twitter

Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on February 18, 2009

Billy Graham has joined the Twitter frenzy. What’s Twitter? It’s kind of a mini-blog application where people can share updates of 140-characters or less. These updates can be shared from a computer or cell phone and are valued for their brevity.

BGEA
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association has an official Twitter feed that offers links and updates about what the BGEA is doing and what’s new on their web site. In addition to pointing to quality content, BGEA on Twitter can also hook you up with some inside information. According to the feed, the BGEA is working on a redesigned web site.

Cliff Barrows
Billy Graham’s long-time song leader, the 86-year-old Cliff Barrows, also jumped on the Twitter bandwagon. Is it really him? He notes that his wife Ann does the typing and he dictates: “I’m 86 and learning. Staying relevant to the times and anchored to the rock.” He also says, “Old soldiers never die, just fade away.” Awesome. When most people on Twitter talk about getting on their scooter to get some ice cream, it’s an entirely different visual.
