THE GRAHAM CHILDREN

All five of Graham's children are active in Christian ministry.

Virginia "GiGi" Tchividjian-Graham, 49, of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is a writer and lecturer. She is national women's adviser for Rapha clinics and hospitals, a national group committed to providing mental-health and substance-abuse treatment based on a religious model.

Anne Graham Lotz, 46, heads AnGeL Ministries, based in Raleigh, N.C. In addition to a busy schedule of speaking engagements, she has written books, teaching materials and produced inspirational audiotapes.

Ruth "Bunny" Graham Dienert, 44, lives in Fort Defiance, Va., near Staunton. She is working with Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse and World Medical Mission organizations.

Franklin Graham, 42, heads Samaritan's Purse and World Medical Mission, Boone, N.C.-based Christian relief organizations that send emergency supplies of food and medicine to areas struck by war or natural disasters.

Nelson Edman "Ned" Graham, 36, like his brother Franklin, tried the Prodigal Son route before moving into ministry. He now heads East Gates Ministries working to spread the Gospel in China. His most recent coup, his father reported from the pulpit in Atlanta, is a contract to print Bibles inside China for distribution there.
