(The Pioneer and Chairman of the board of BGEA, U.S.A.)
EVANGELIST BILLY GRAHAM (U.S.A)
(The Pioneer and Chairman of the board of BGEA, U.S.A.)
Billy Graham Evangelist Billy Graham: Reverend (Evangelist) William Franklin Graham Jr. (popularly called “Billy Graham”, around the world) was an internationally renowned American evangelist, ordained Southern Baptist minister, and civil rights advocate, whose broadcasts and world tours, featuring live sermons, became well known in the mid-to-late 20th century.
Born in Charlotte, North Carolina, Graham experienced a profound conversion to Christianity at a local revival meeting in 1934. He quickly became known for his charismatic preaching style and ability to communicate complex spiritual concepts in an accessible manner. He was the Pioneer and Chairman of the board of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA).
Billy Graham is evidently one of the most prominent, influencial, impact-full, evangelical Christian figures in the world. Throughout his career and ministry, spanning over
seven decades, he rose to prominence as a great man of positive, societal impact and an evangelical Christian figure in the United States and abroad. He is best known for his powerful preaching, which reached millions of people around the globe through crusades, television broadcasts, and published works. Revered for his unwavering commitment to spreading the Gospel, Graham’s life and ministry have inspired countless individuals to seek a relationship with Jesus Christ. He was considered among the most influential Christian leaders of the 20th century. In his lifetime, he was famous for filling up with large audiences, stadiums and other massive venues around the world (where he preached live sermons). These sermons were often broadcast via radio and television with some continuing to be seen into the 21st century.
Billy Graham’s integrity and moral clarity earned him the respect of leaders and individuals across various domains, including politics, media, and business. He served as a spiritual advisor to multiple U.S. presidents and was often called upon to provide counsel and encouragement during times of national crisis. His commitment to racial equality and social justice resonated throughout his life, advocating for unity and reconciliation across divisions. He was renown for the practical steps he took to close up the gap of racial prejudice and segregation that was prevalent at a time of intense racial strife in the United States. As a practical step, he always insisted on racial integration for all of his revivals and crusades.
He was also known to be friendly with a lot of prominent leaders in the world, both in the secular and within the Christian fold. This multiplied both his influence and impact across the globe. During his six decades on television, he hosted his annual crusades and evangelistic live-campaigns, from 1947 until his retirement in 2005.
At TIGOM Inc.®, we celebrate Billy Graham as a role model for his remarkable dedication to evangelism, faithfulness in service, and the transformative power of the Gospel. His legacy serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of sharing God’s love and hope with a world in need.
From this deceased, great man of God who passed on, on February 21, 2018, at the age of 99, we have learnt and understood, at a deeper level, what total, societal impact means.

John Knox (Scotland)
(A Life Fueled by Prayer and Purpose)
JOHN KNOX (SCOTLAND)
(A Life Fueled by Prayer and Purpose)
John Knox John Knox: John Knox was a central figure in the Protestant Reformation of his days and he was known for his passionate commitment to both the Gospel and the spiritual renewal of Scotland. His fervent declaration, "Give me Scotland or I die," encapsulates the urgency of his mission, underscoring the depth of his prayer life and his sincere desire for transformation among his people. This statement reflects not only a longing for national redemption but reveals the prayerful heart of a man who believed in the power of divine intervention to effect change.
Born in Haddington, Scotland, Knox was profoundly impacted by the teachings of the Reformation, particularly those of John Calvin. As he witnessed corruption within the church and society, he was compelled to pray earnestly for revival. His
commitment to prayer was integral to his ministry, helping him seek God’s guidance as he navigated the turbulent waters of religious and political strife in Scotland. He understood that prayer was vital for intercession on behalf of his nation and the believers who yearned for genuine faith.
Knox's declaration for Scotland signifies a deep yearning for a nation that reflected God’s principles. This plea was born out of countless hours spent in prayer, where he sought not only personal strength but also divine clarity on how to lead his fellow Scots back to Scripture. His intensity in prayer was matched by his unwavering resolve to see the Reformed faith take root in Scotland, and he believed that earnest prayer would ignite the hearts of the people toward holiness and truth.
As a reformer, Knox established the groundwork for the Presbyterian Church, emphasizing a governance structure that was both biblically sound and community-focused. Knox was renowned for his powerful prayer life. Queen Mary of Scotland reportedly said, “I fear the prayers of John Knox more than all the assembled armies of Europe.” His intimate communion with God fueled his boldness, sustained him through persecution, and gave him supernatural courage to confront evil in high places. Knox’s life demonstrates that fulfilling God’s Will begins with fervent prayers and complete dependence on divine strength rather than human resources.
His insistence on the importance of prayer in both personal and corporate worship helped foster a culture of faith among the congregations he served. Knox believed that prayer was central to achieving God's Will, and he called upon the people to embrace a life dedicated to seeking God’s presence and guidance. Ultimately, John Knox’s legacy endures as a testament to the power of prayer in shaping history. His passionate pursuit of Scotland’s spiritual renewal reminds us of the vital role that prayer plays in our own lives and communities.
At TIGOM Inc.®, we hold John Knox, as a role model, because his life exemplifies our core message – which is, understanding, embracing and fulfilling God’s Will for one’s life changes everything. Knox discovered his divine purpose, pursued it with unwavering faith despite opposition, and transformed his generation through obedient service. His legacy challenges us to ask: What is God’s will for my life? Am I willing to pay the price to fulfill it? Will I live for temporary comfort or eternal impact? Like Knox, we believe this generation can be world-changers when they discover and courageously pursue God’s purposes for their lives.
As an international, evangelistic, outreach ministry, we draw inspiration from Knox’s example, emphasizing the necessity of a prayerful life, as we engage in outreaches and empower others to fulfill God's purpose for their lives.
