up by other papers across the country
and by the Associated Press. Sparked by
Los Angeles, a successful Boston meet
ing followed and invitations began com
ing to Billy from across the country and
the world.
In 1950, Mr. Graham took his ministry to
radio with the broadcast of the weekly
"Hour of Decision" on the ABC Radio Net
work. The program, offering a message by
Mr. Graham or an associate evangelist, as
well as interviews with Christian newsma
kers, reports from the mission fronts and
inspirational music, continues to be
heard each week on hundreds of radio
stations around the world. A few years
later, making further use of the mass me
dia, he began televising his citywide evan
gelistic meetings starting with the
historic Madison Square Garden Crusade
in New.York City in 1957.
Approximately 3,500. hours of prime time
television are now purchased each year
by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Associa
tion to transform crusades and other spe
cial programs into national events.
Worldwide Pictures in Burbank, California
i is the film-making arm of the Association,
with pictures like the award-winning "Hid
ing Place" starring Julie Harris to its
credit, "Decision" Magazine has three
million circulation, and Mr. Graham's
books are widely read in many languages.
(When the Russian pastor introducing
him at the Moscow Baptist Church asked
how many in the congregation had read
Mr. Graham's "Peace with God," nearly
half of those jammed into the pews,
aisles and balconies enthusiastically
lifted their hands.) His "Angels: God's Se
cret Agents" was the United States' run
away best seller in any category,
inspirational or otherwise, in 1975.
Billy Graham ministers to the whole per

action, providing help in the form of
money, food, medicine, building materials

Billy makes a point to students at M.l.T.
whatever may be needed for suffering
people. Hundreds of thousands of dollars,
have been disbursed to provide such
things as grain for drought stricken West
African countries, to rebuild a village in
India destroyed by a tidal wave, to, send
food .and medicine to earthquake victims
in Guatemala, and to help Vietnamese
boat people and Cambodian refugees in -Thailand.
100 percent of every dollar
given to the Fund goes to the needy, with
the Billy Graham Evangelistic Associa
tion deducting nothing for administrative
costs. True to its evangelistic commit
ment, BGEA sees to it that recipients are
told this help comes to them in the name
of Jesus Christ.
BILLY GRAHAM
AND STUDENTS
Of the .vast throng who have come to
know Christ as their Lord and Saviour
through the preaching of Billy Graham,
more than half have been young people
for Billy has enormous rapport with the
student generation. Father of five and
grandfather of fifteen, he is deeply inter
ested in the young men and women who
will guide the destiny of tomorrow's
world. Students sense this genuine con
cern and respond to the power and clarity
of Mr. Graham's Biblically based preach
ing.. : : : ..; . . , ,

he speaks at Dartmouth.

says a student at Northeastern University.
"Manv times, students feel a SDeaker
doesn't care about them. Billy Graham is
projecting the love of God."
A Cambridge student puts it 'this way: "As
Billy began to speak I was aware of pre
conceived ideas being destroyed. He
spoke a lot of sense."
And a student at Boston College: "The
economy isn't making it, the family isn't
making it. We know we need something
more."
A Student Steering Committee has in
vited Billy Graham to UNC CH. "Reason
to Live," Mr. Graham's evangelistic lecture
