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.
