JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) _ The Rev. Billy Graham’s daughter says the 91-year-old evangelist would like to preach one more time, and his family is “praying that he’ll have that opportunity.”

Anne Graham Lotz spoke with reporters Monday in Missouri, where she was the keynote speaker at a prayer gathering in the state Capitol Rotunda.

Lotz says her father has trouble hearing, seeing and walking, but gets out of bed on his own and watches television to keep up with the news. Unable to read his Bible, Graham has caretakers write verses of Scripture in large letters for him, and Lotz says he prays now more than ever.

She adds that he misses his wife Ruth, who died in 2007, “but he’s not ready to go join her yet.”
