Following in the Graham family footsteps, Rachel-Ruth Wright encouraged Christians to leave a legacy honoring to the Lord during a recent weekend-long seminar at the Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove.
As the youngest daughter of Anne Graham Lotz, Wright has been described by her mother as “a delight and a joy [with] a crazy sense of humor, a very quick wit, but deeply spiritual.”
A mother of three herself, Billy Graham’s granddaughter is very aware of the importance of a godly legacy. Returning to the retreat her grandparents tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina, Wright reflected on her favorite memories in the area.
Wright stood before an audience with her Bible open, sharing the Word of God just as she had been taught.
Telling the story of Elijah found in 1 Kings 18, Wright explained the importance of obedience to the Lord, which results in hearing from Him, walking in confidence and speaking truth.
As a mother, teacher and wife of a football coach, Wright knows what it’s like to live a busy life. But she relies on Someone besides herself.
“What is it that you are dependent on?” she asked, adding that society takes note of our actions.
“We can trust God with our situation,” Wright said confidently. “We will never see the glory of the Lord fall down unless we surrender to Him. He is a mighty power, King of kings, Lord of lords. There’s nothing He can’t handle.
And she asked those in attendance — “Are you showing your grandkids, your children, the people that are around you, that God will come through?”
