    Thanks for the comments. Billy Graham is an excellent example of someone who did the very best. He really prepared for his messages and even was able to take the news of that very day and put it often into his message. To do that you have got to master your craft. I think we can all agree the number of speakers in Billy Grahams abilities are very small. If anyone does what they are gifted in doing and then become better with their gifts by working hard at improving then they can be as effective as Billy Graham in their own field.

    very interesting. i have been feeling some interest and trying to find these opportunities over the past few months. agree with your findings.
    billy graham preached on street corners in los angeles in the late 40's. he preached the same gospel you and i would share but God chose him to deliver that message to millions all over the world and even presidents for decades. only God can place you in impossible places! if it's His will … it will happen.
    very good advice here. God bless.
