Graham said he hopes the film with give people hope. "I know I'm going to heaven. I'm looking forward to it with great anticipation,” he said. 

Graham’s son Franklin Graham said, "Although his physical condition keeps him homebound, he remains interested in current events and the ongoing work of the ministry that he began more than 60 years ago. Opportunities like...the Heaven film are ways that we can help my father to continue the work that God called us to do. Please pray for my father, and for those who will watch this film—that they too may know the peace found in Jesus Christ."
