When Billy Graham was thrust into the public eye in the late 1940s, his charisma caught the attention of several Hollywood producers who hoped to make him a movie star. Billy knew God had called him to evangelism, not acting—but he recognized the power of film and began to seriously consider how the technology could be used to share the Gospel.

Through the “Pioneering Christian Cinema” display, guests can discover how the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) has used the power of film to reach thousands with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Learn about the groundbreaking ministry of our studio, World Wide Pictures, and find out how the My Hope outreach uses film to share the Gospel today. Read fascinating stories from behind the scenes of BGEA movies and see captivating photos and memorabilia in this special display, located in The Journey of Faith through the end of February.
