Over the past few weeks, I have joined many of our colleagues to rise in honor of Dr. Billy Graham. Today, I rise in honor of one of the quiet heroes who helped make his worldwide ministry possible. Ms. Stephanie Wills served as Billy Graham's secretary--she always refused fancier titles--for over 45 years, traveling the world to help Dr. Graham at each crusade and at countless meetings. My first conversations with Stephanie were in the early 1970s, when I served for 10 years as the assistant to Dr. Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ. It was a blessing to see Stephanie at Dr. Graham's funeral, as she was still faithfully serving him. Stephanie is legendary. She is highly competent, fiercely loyal, and unflappable. I have said several times that Dr. Graham was a great man because he was faithful to the mission that God had given to him. The same can be said of Stephanie Wills. She has been a faithful servant of Jesus Christ, playing a quiet yet enormous role in sharing the Gospel around the world through her dedicated and tireless support of God's servant, Dr. Billy Graham. Well done, Stephanie, a wonderful servant of God. ____________________

Just a few weeks ago, my family was blessed with the arrival of a beautiful baby girl, our 10th grandchild. If you have ever held a newborn, so defenseless and completely dependent on you, you will understand why the idea that some people…
