Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA)
Sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the Ends of the Earth
For over 70 years, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) has been committed to one central mission: proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ to as many people as possible. Founded by evangelist Billy Graham in 1950, this ministry has remained steadfast in its purpose—bringing hope, salvation, and truth to a world in need. Today, that mission continues under the leadership of Franklin Graham, carrying the torch of evangelism into the next generation.
Our Purpose
At the heart of BGEA is a deep desire to see lives transformed by the power of the gospel. We believe that every person, regardless of background, deserves the opportunity to hear about the love of God and the saving grace found in Jesus Christ. Through global outreach efforts, strategic partnerships, and innovative use of technology, BGEA reaches millions each year with a message that never changes: Christ alone saves.
What We Do
1. Evangelistic Events
From large-scale festivals to local gatherings, we organize live events around the world where individuals are invited to hear the gospel, respond to its truth, and begin a new life in Christ. These events are marked by powerful worship, straightforward gospel messages, and opportunities for personal decision-making and spiritual growth.
2. Media Outreach
To reach people where they are, we utilize radio, television, podcasts, social media, and online platforms to spread the message of hope. Our media ministry connects with individuals in homes, cars, and mobile devices, presenting biblical truth in accessible and engaging ways.
3. Crisis Response Ministry
In times of disaster, tragedy, or crisis, our Rapid Response Team of trained chaplains is deployed to offer emotional and spiritual support. These men and women serve on the frontlines of human suffering, providing comfort, prayer, and the hope of Christ to those in their darkest moments.
4. Discipleship & Training
We believe evangelism doesn’t end at conversion. That’s why BGEA invests in equipping pastors, churches, and believers through training programs, discipleship resources, and practical tools to share their faith effectively. Our goal is to empower the Church to live on mission every day.
5. Legacy and Resources
BGEA also preserves the history and impact of Billy Graham’s ministry while making it accessible to future generations. Through written materials, educational resources, and archival content, we continue to inspire people to live lives rooted in faith and purpose.
