Beloved evangelist Billy Graham turns 94 years old Wednesday.

Graham's daughter, Ann Graham Lotz, credits his long life to prayer and said she hopes people continue to pray for her father.

Preparations are underway for a Billy Graham evangelistic broadcast next year when Rev. Graham turns 95.

Graham, who continues to write books, is celebrating his birthday with about 20 family members at his home in Montreat, N.C.

His daughters say he asked for a birthday menu of hot dogs and apple pie.
