(UPI) — Rev. Billy Graham, one of the world’s most prominent evangelists, died Wednesday morning at the age of 99.

Graham served as a counselor or minister to a dozen U.S. presidents, preaching to 215 million people in 185 countries around the world.

The evangelist was born in 1918 and grew up on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Given the title of “America’s Pastor,” Graham was ordained in Florida in 1943. He later received a solid foundation in the Scriptures at Florida Bible Institute, now the Trinity College of Florida. In 1943, Graham graduated from Wheaton College in Illinois.

Following World War II, Graham preached throughout the United States and Europe and was thrust into international fame during the Los Angeles Crusade in 1949, one of his earliest evangelism drives.

Graham also visited with Queen Elizabeth II in Britain on more than one occasion.
