Franklin Graham said his father's eyesight and hearing are poor and he uses a wheelchair, but his ministry now is praying.

"He doesn't think anybody remembers who he is," Franklin said with a laugh, "so he'll say, 'If you meet anybody who remembers me, tell them hello.'"

Franklin Graham is traveling the country on his Decision America Tour.
