WE WANT TO SEE NEW BELIEVERS NURTURED WITHIN A CHURCH BODY AND GIVEN A CHANCE TO GROW AND BECOME TRUE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST. OUR GOALS ARE TO STRENGTHEN CHURCHES AND FAMILIES; IMPACT ENTIRE COMMUNITIES WITH THE GOOD NEWS OF THE GOSPEL; AND EMPOWER CHRISTIANS TO SHARE THEIR FAITH SO THAT THE INVESTMENT MADE IN EACH COMMUNITY WILL CONTINUE LONG AFTER THE FINAL SERVICE ENDS. THOUSANDS OF CHURCHES PARTNERED WITH US FOR FRANKLIN GRAHAM FESTIVALS IN 2011 IN PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI; MONROVIA, LIBERIA; LOS ANGELES, CA; VILNIUS, LITHUANIA; AND HYDERABAD, INDIA - AS WELL AS THREE FAMILY/YOUTH-ORIENTED ROCK EVENTS IN NORTH AMERICA.

BELIEVERS IN THOSE CHURCHES PRAY FOR PEOPLE THEY KNOW WHO NEED TO HEAR THE GOSPEL AND, AFTER BEING TRAINED, INVITE THEM INTO THEIR HOMES TO SEE OR HEAR EVANGELISTIC PROGRAMS PREPARED BY BGEA SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT COUNTRY.

IN 2011, OVER 213,700 PEOPLE IN SEVEN COUNTRIES RECORDED DECISIONS TO FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST IN RESPONSE TO BGEA MY HOPE PROJECTS IN SPAIN, PORTUGAL, ZAMBIA, HAITI AND THREE OTHER SENSITIVE COUNTRIES. BGEA USES THE CHRISTIAN LIFE AND WITNESS COURSE AS A WAY TO HELP PEOPLE MATURE IN THEIR FAITH, LEARN TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS AND MAKE DISCIPLES. THESE COURSES WERE HELD IN 10 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS IN SUPPORT OF FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS AND ALMOST 31,000 INDIVIDUALS COMPLETED THE TRAINING, WHILE MORE THAN 5,500 TRAINEES REALIZED THEIR OWN PERSONAL NEED FOR A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST AND COMMITTED THEIR LIVES WITH HIM DURING THE SESSIONS.

ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	FORM 990 - ORGANIZATION'S MISSION	PART I, LINE 1, AND PART III, LINE 1 THE BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION EXISTS TO PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL MESSAGE: "GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON, THAT WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM SHALL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE" (JOHN 3:16). THE ASSOCIATION'S MISSION IS TO "GO INTO ALL THE WORLD AND PREACH THE GOOD NEWS TO ALL CREATION" (MARK 16:15). WE PROCLAIM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST GLOBALLY THROUGH A VARIETY OF COMMUNICATION TOOLS AND OUTREACH EVENTS, INCLUDING FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS, TV AND RADIO PROGRAMS, PRINT PUBLICATIONS, THE INTERNET, AND NEW CREATIVE MEDIA. SINCE 1950, THE ASSOCIATION HAS TAKEN THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. WE BELIEVE THAT THE PROBLEMS FACING OUR WORLD TODAY - ECONOMICALLY, POLITICALLY, AND RACIALLY - ARE THE DIRECT RESULT OF HUMAN SIN. THE BIBLE, WHICH WE BELIEVE IS THE ONLY INSPIRED WORD OF GOD, STATES THAT "ALL HAVE SINNED AND FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD" (ROMANS 3:23). SIN SEPARATES US FROM GOD: "THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH" (ROMANS 6:23), AND AS A RESULT, THE WHOLE EARTH AND EVERYTHING IN IT ARE UNDER GOD'S CURSE. THERE IS GOOD NEWS, AND WE PROCLAIM IT TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO WILL HEAR. GOD SENT HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST, FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH TO TAKE OUR SINS UPON HIMSELF. HE PAID THE PENALTY FOR OUR SINS BY DYING IN OUR PLACE ON THE CROSS, AND THEN HE ROSE AGAIN TO LIFE. JESUS OPENED THE WAY FOR US TO KNOW GOD. WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY TO GOD, AND HE SAID HIMSELF, "I AM THE WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME" (JOHN 14:6). NO OTHER LIFESTYLE, RELIGION, OR PHILOSOPHY CAN BRING YOU TO GOD. EVERY OUTREACH OF THE ASSOCIATION PROCLAIMS THIS PROFOUND TRUTH AND INVITES MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN ACROSS THE GLOBE TO TURN FROM THEIR SIN AND FIND FORGIVENESS AND ETERNAL LIFE IN JESUS CHRIST. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE PEACE WITH GOD, YOU CAN FIND IT RIGHT NOW. SIMPLY PRAY THIS PRAYER AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR: "DEAR LORD JESUS, I KNOW THAT I AM A SINNER, AND I ASK FOR YOUR FORGIVENESS. I BELIEVE YOU DIED FOR MY SINS AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD. I TURN FROM MY SINS AND INVITE YOU TO COME INTO MY HEART AND LIFE. I WANT TO TRUST AND FOLLOW YOU AS MY LORD AND SAVIOR. IN YOUR NAME, AMEN". IF YOU PRAYED THIS PRAYER - OR WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE ABOUT SPIRITUAL QUESTIONS - PLEASE CALL US AT 1-877-247-2426. WE HAVE SOME MATERIALS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEND TO HELP YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY OF FAITH.
