I'm sure Rev. Graham does. But Jesus put together 12 disciples whom he exhorted to go forth and preach his message. He wanted his flock ministered to in public.

And there's this:
Matthew 5:14-16 ESV
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

I wanted to emphasize the red bolded, because I think it's important to know that while Jesus wants everyone to see YOUR good works, he wants the glory to go to God.

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:5-6
