The Archive Collection

A Collection of Crusade Artifacts

September 19, 2018


With a 60 year ministry comes historic and memorable artifacts. For the remainder of this year, we are featuring a monthly collection of artifacts from our archives. This month, as our new TV special, Canvas Cathedral, is released, we want to focus our attention on Billy Graham’s crusades.

Click here to watch Canvas Cathedral—a film that goes behind the scenes of a recent movie in which Will Graham portrays his grandfather at the 1949 Los Angeles Crusade.
