Evangelist Billy Graham celebrated his 90th birthday Friday with family and personal staff at a private barbeque near his mountain home outside Asheville, N.C., attended by all five of his children, most of his 19 grandchildren and many of his great grandchildren, a news release said.
“I’ve learned that these latter years can be some of the most fulfilling of our lives,” the evangelist said in the prepared statement released through Christian Newswire.

“I am grateful for each day, thankful for the measure of health I have and am overwhelmed by this celebration. But I think we can come back and celebrate again next year.”
