[[Billy Graham]] has conducted over 41 [[Revival meeting|evangelistic crusades]] since 1948. He began this form of ministry in 1947 and continued until recently. He would rent a large venue, such as a stadium, park, or street. He had a group of up to 5,000 people to sing in a choir and then preached the [[gospel]] and invited people to come forward. These people, called inquirers, were then given the opportunity to speak one-on-one with a counselor who clarified any questions the inquirer may have had and would pray with that person. The inquirers were often given some resources such as a [[Gospel of John]] or [[Bible]] study booklet. In [[Moscow]] in 1992, one-fourth of the 155,000 in his audience came forward upon his request.<ref name ="time1993"=Footnotes=={{reflist}}==References==* [http://www.billygraham.org/ Billy Graham Evangelical Association]* [http://www.historyguy.com/biofiles/graham_billy.html Biofile: Billy Graham, a biography page]* [http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm/bay/search.summary/orgid/3367.htm Financial summary of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association]* [http://www.prettygoodnews.com/form_990/hagee_spreadsheet.pdf Executive salaries, Christian ministries] ==External links=={{sisterlinks|Billy Graham}}* [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/1850077.stm Anti-Semitic charges]* [http://www.bgtc.info/ Billy Graham Training Center]* [http://www.wheaton.edu/bgc/archives/exhibits/NYC57/088.ram Streaming video clip from 1957 event in Times Square]* [http://www.demossnewspond.com/bgea/index.htm Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Newsroom]* [http://www.indypendent.org/?p=298/ New York journalist goes to Graham's crusade and the gay pride march]* [http://www.martygrant.com/gen/graham/graham-billy.htm Rev.
