A movement where Christ is named

Billy Graham Evangelistic Association

Evangelism & teaching · Founded 1950 · by Billy Graham · Charlotte, North Carolina, United States

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.

What they do

BGEA proclaims the Christian gospel through evangelistic events and preaching, continuing the work begun by Billy Graham's large public meetings.

It produces radio and television broadcasts, films, books, and online resources, and operates outreach through its magazine and daily devotional content.

The association also trains evangelists, runs the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team chaplains who bring spiritual care during crises and disasters, and offers resources for people seeking to understand the Christian faith.

The Scripture behind the work

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”

Where the door leads

BGEA exists to point people to salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, echoing Billy Graham's lifelong invitation to respond to the gospel. A reader might explore its website, read a gospel presentation, or talk with a chaplain or volunteer. Its steady message is that Christ offers forgiveness and new life to anyone who will come.
