The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association is a Christian evangelism organization founded in 1950 by the American evangelist Billy Graham. For decades it organized large preaching events, known as crusades, and produced broadcasts, films, and publications to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. It continues to carry on that mission today through evangelistic outreach, media, training, and chaplaincy ministries.
