Graham has been involved in sports ministry since 1980 when he started a soccer team with the purpose of sharing the Gospel after each game. Soon this led to the formation of a league that is still running today and touching people for Christ. In 1990 he was involved in starting SportsReach. In addition to the league, soccer schools were introduced for reaching children and at the same time, international tours began.

Graham grew up in Beverley, Yorkshire where he was converted as a teenager through the Boys Brigade when an ex horse racing tipster shared the Gospel. He is married to Viv with three grown up children.

Graham studied at Capernwray Bible School before going on to study theology with the Evangelical Movement of Wales. He has played for many years in local football and is a F.A. Level 1 coach.

Graham is an international evangelist and Bible teacher and  acts as a Field Representative of Torchbearers Missionary Fellowship. His ministry focuses on bible exposition and leading people to a vital relationship with the Lord Jesus. He is available worldwide, for evangelistic missions, Bible teaching and sports ministry. 

His booklet 'The Greatest Life On The Planet' is available from SportsReach for evangelistic purposes.  In January 2010 Graham handed over the leadership of SportsReach to Will and Sue Marsden.  Graham is now concentrating on his evangelism and Bible teaching ministry.  For ministry enquiries contact the SportsReach office.

Shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the Word of life. Phil 2:15
