Billy Graham’s media and publishing ventures were a significant part of his impact on the world of evangelism. As a skilled communicator and prolific author, Graham used various media platforms to reach large audiences and spread his teachings.
One of Graham’s most successful media ventures was his syndicated television program, The Hour of Decision, which aired weekly from 1950 to 1954. The program was later renamed The Billy Graham Crusade Hour and was broadcast in over 185 countries. Additionally, Graham had a radio program, Hour of Decision, which aired for over 50 years.
Graham’s publishing ventures were equally successful. His bestselling books, including The Secret of Happiness and Angels: God’s Secret Agents, sold millions of copies in numerous languages. Graham also founded Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) and Worldwide Pictures production companies. The BGEA produced films and documentaries, including The Restless Ones and For Pete’s Sake, while Worldwide Pictures produced the acclaimed film The Hiding Place.
Graham’s media and publishing ventures extended his reach and helped him bring the gospel message to people all over the world.
