Never did we dream there would be such a harvest of souls at these rallies—and we give God all the glory. Our nation’s need for prayer didn’t end with the election, a new administration in Washington, or a new year. America still needs the message of “the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16). The one sure path to national restoration is through repentance, and only the Good News of God’s Son can humble hearts and change them—across our nation or anywhere in the world. During 2016, more than 1.8 million people across the globe told us they made a life-changing decision for Christ as a result of God working through BGEA’s ministries.

  • Billy Graham
    Billy Graham William Franklin Graham Jr. (November 7, 1918 – February 21, 2018) was an American evangelist, a prominent evangelical Christian figure, and an The Reverend ordained Southern Baptist minister who became well-known internationally in the late 1940s. One of his biographers has placed him "among the most Billy Graham influential Christian leaders" of the 20th century.[2] As a preacher, he held large indoor and outdoor rallies with sermons that were broadcast on radio and television; some were still being re-broadcast into the 21st century.[3] In his six decades on television, Graham hosted annual "Crusades", evangelistic campaigns that ran from 1947 until his retirement in 2005. He also hosted the radio show Hour of Decision from 1950 to 1954. He repudiated racial segregation[4] and insisted on racial integration for his revivals and crusades, starting in 1953; he also invited Martin Luther King Jr. to preach jointly at a revival in New York City in 1957. In addition to his religious aims, he helped shape the worldview of a huge number of people who came from different backgrounds, leading them to find a relationship between the Bible and contemporary secular viewpoints. According to his website, Graham preached to live audiences of 210 million people in more than 185 countries and territories through various meetings, including BMS World Mission and Global Mission.[5] Graham was a spiritual adviser to U.S. presidents, and he provided spiritual Graham in 1966 counsel for every president from Harry S. Truman (33rd) to Barack Obama Personal (44th).[6] He was particularly close to Dwight D.
