Transform a City
God wants to draw lost and hurting people
to Himself and to transform neighborhoods
and cities by the power of the Gospel. Millions
of people have heard the Gospel
in person at BGEA’s citywide
evangelistic Crusades, Festivals, and
Celebrations in recent years.
Franklin Graham and associate
evangelists such as Will Graham lead
evangelistic events in American cities
from New Jersey to California and
from Texas to the Great Lakes, as well as in Africa,
Europe, Asia, Australia, and Latin America. Each
Crusade is carried out in close partnership with
local churches, and the people who make lifechanging
spiritual commitments impact their city
and its churches for years to come.

Reach an Entire Nation
Friends inviting friends to meet Jesus—it’s such
a simple concept, yet it can dramatically impact
a whole nation when carried out simultaneously
by tens of thousands of individual
believers across an entire country in
a single weekend. My Hope combines
the reach of a nationwide television
event with the power of one-on-one
testimonies shared personally in living
rooms. With nearly 4.5 million host
families trained in 57 countries so far,
the Holy Spirit has been using My Hope to
draw people to Jesus and change lives
at a pace beyond all anyone asked or
dared to imagine.

critical stage of life than other young people BGEA’s

stand for Christ and share their faith with others.
Start a Child’s Journey

Christ as Savior, follow Him faithfully, and share their
faith with others.

Help Millions Find
the Answer
People today go to the Internet with the deepest cry
of their hearts. Millions of people search online for
answers to desperate questions such as “Will God
forgive me” or “What happens when I die” On Google
alone, there are 5 million queries each month on the
topic of loneliness. Through our
Search for Jesus Internet evangelism
ministry, we can connect with people
like this while they are looking for
answers and invite them to discover
the path to real hope. We respond
to an online search with Internet
links that offer sensitive and helpful
responses and point people to an
interactive website—PeaceWithGod.net—where they
can find new life through faith in Jesus Christ. Those
who respond can chat with volunteer counselors or
begin our online discipleship program—and then
connect with a local
church in their
own community.

Change a Life
Many historical libraries preserve the stories of people’s
lives. But at the Billy Graham Library, people’s life
stories are changed. Visitors come from every state
and many foreign countries, up to a thousand people
on busy days and even more during December for
Christmas at the Library. The displays, high-tech exhibits,
and multimedia presentations tell the story of how
God used one man’s life and ministry in remarkable
ways—but that’s not the Library’s real purpose. The
primary goal is life-changing ministry. The same
message of Jesus Christ that Billy Graham has
preached his entire life is woven into every part of
the tour. Thousands of guests have prayed with
Library volunteers and staff concerning personal
spiritual decisions, and thousands of others have
shared about the commitments to Christ they made
as a result of their visit.

$4,000 can train 30 volunteer counselors.

Comfort the Suffering
In the aftermath of a disaster, not all the damage can be
repaired with medicine, plywood, and insurance. Even as
emergency and relief workers respond to physical needs,
the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team deploys
crisis-care chaplains to help
meet emotional and spiritual
needs. Founded following
the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the
Rapid Response Team has
trained more than 12,000
volunteer chaplains in its first decade. Those chaplains
have comforted, encouraged, and prayed one-on-one
with more than 174,000 people affected by tragedies—
hurricanes, earthquakes, shooting massacres, floods,
tornadoes, and fires—bringing the love and compassion
of Christ into shattered lives and communities.
rapid response team
Pray for the survivors of disasters and the
chaplains ministering to them.
$926,000 to support chaplain deployment and
training in 2012
$200 can pay for Bibles and materials for
10 disaster survivors.
