Bill Graham
Graham Family News – Fall 2009
Many of you have been praying for the Billy Graham family during their tour in South Korea. They are making arrangements to return to the states, where Billy will attend the Chaplains School at Fort Jackson in Columbia, South Carolina for six months of advanced training. Robyn Graham writes this note:
Tis the season to be moving! We are so excited to report that we are on our way back to the states in just a few days! The packers have packed everything up, the shippers have shipped everything out and on December 17th we will get on a plane and fly from Daegu to Seoul, to Japan, to Chicago (where the Army has graciously given us a 10 day layover). From Chicago, we will drive south to Grace to pick up Katie from college, hopefully spend a few days with friends, and then drive 3 hours north to Michigan where we will spend a week with my family! Christmas at home! The 27th we will continue our journey in flight from Chicago to Columbia, South Carolina where Billy will attend his chaplain career course. The LORD has already provided a wonderful house for us to live in for the six months we’re at Ft. Jackson! It is a wonderful place situated on a quiet cul de sac and right on a small fishing lake! It’s going to be such a refreshing, peaceful place to live and we are thrilled and thankful for God’s provision! It is still a little hard to believe that our time in Korea has already come to an end but we are soooo very excited to get back to the states and to whatever next adventure God has in store for us although we won’t know what our next assignment (after chaplain course) will be until mid-January or so. Please pray for us as we say good-bye to dear friends and to the crew that have become a part of our family here in Korea. Thanks so much!

Captain Bill Graham (U.S. Army), with his wife Robyn and three children, are stationed in Taegu, Korea. Bill serves as Battalion Chaplain for the 25th Transportation Battalion. He has recently received a two-year extension of his tour in Korea in order for daughters Katy and Joy to finish high school.
Endorsing Agent John Schumacher provides this update on Chaplain Graham’s ministry: Bill has observed that some of the veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan are being assigned to Korea and he has plans to try to set up a support group for those individuals. (Bill served with troops in Iraq.) The Grahams are planning on a summer leave that will allow them to visit with family state-side and get some much needed rest from the rigors of their very busy life in Korea. Robyn is president of the Protestant Women of the Chapel which, under her leadership is growing. Katie is poised to become the Senior Editor of the school yearbook. Joy is excelling in Junior ROTC and has attained the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. Chris is in his last year of middle school and is looking forward to High School. The entire family is fully involved in the base chapel program at Taegu.
Captain Bill Graham and family.
