CHOICES THAT YOU MAKE...

From the time his ministry began in 1947, Graham conducted more than 400 crusades in 185 countries and territories on six continents.[43] The first Billy Graham Crusade, held September 13-21, 1947 at the Civic Auditorium in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was attended by 6,000 people. Graham was 28 years old and would rent a large venue, such as a stadium, park, or street. As the sessions became larger, he arranged a group of up to 5,000 people to sing in a choir. He would preach the gospel and invite people to come forward (a practice begun by Dwight L. Moody). Such people were called inquirers and were given the chance to speak one-on-one with a counselor to clarify questions and pray together. The inquirers were often given a copy of the Gospel of John or a Bible study booklet. At a 1973 rally attended by 100,000 in Durban, South Africa, that was the first large mixed-race event in apartheid South Africa, he stated that "apartheid is a sin".[44][45] In Moscow in 1992, one-quarter of the 155,000 people in Graham's audience went forward at his call.[21] During his crusades, he frequently used the altar call song, "Just As I Am".[46]
Graham was offered a five-year, $1 million contract from NBC to appear on television opposite Arthur Godfrey, but he had prior commitments. He turned down the offer in order to continue his touring revivals.[47] Graham had crusades in London (which lasted 12 weeks), and a New York City crusade in Madison Square Garden in 1957, which ran nightly for 16 weeks.
