“For God ... has made this light shine in our hearts so we could know the
glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ.”—2 CORINTHIANS 4:6, NLT
THIS IS THE BILLY GRAHAMEVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
Dear Friend,
I wish you could share my view from the Crusade platform as men, women, and children
stream forward to surrender their lives to Jesus Christ. What a blessing to see the faces of
those individuals changed for eternity! Multiply this thousands of times over—across five
continents—and these are the faces of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA).
“Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame”
(Psalm 34:5, NIV). We are humbled that God would use BGEA in lifting up these faces and
removing the shame of sin and guilt through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Praise God,
through evangelistic live events, nationwide TV broadcasts, disaster-response chaplain
teams, innovative training for youth, and so much more, 3.9 million people made decisions
for Jesus Christ in 2006.
Please join us in giving thanks to God for the great things He has done. All the glory belongs
to Him alone! As I consider our plans for 2007—including the opening of the Billy Graham
Library, the launch of our Dare to Be a Daniel group curriculum, and our busiest Crusade
schedule in a decade—I can only imagine what God has in store.
My heart rejoices when I recall the Lord’s promise that He “is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine” (Ephesians 3:20, NIV). What a powerful God we serve! May He
richly bless you.
Sincerely,
Franklin Graham
President and CEO

LIVE MINISTRY EVENTS
FRANKLIN GRAHAM FESTIVALS • In 2006, God was at
work rewriting record books across the globe using
Franklin Graham Festivals. Record-breaking crowds totaling
more than 670,000 on three continents heard the Good
News of Jesus Christ, and for the first time, Japanese- and
English-speaking Christians in Okinawa joined together to
reach their island for Christ.
But the greatest records of
2006 are the 56,000 that will
stand for all eternity—they are
the men, women, and children
God has changed forever by the
saving power of Jesus Christ. •
Festivals, like all of our Crusade
events, begin with local believers who are burdened for the
salvation of their friends and neighbors. At the invitation of
Christian leaders in a city, BGEA partners with churches for
months of planning and training leading up to the three-day
outreach. After the event, we assist the local body in
following up with those who made decisions for Christ.

Because these churches are a permanent part of their
community, lives continue to be changed by the power
of the Gospel long after the Festival is over.
The year began in the Philippines with the Metro
Manila Festival—Franklin Graham’s first in Asia and his
largest to date. Over 317,000 people heard the Gospel,
and more than 33,000 people made decisions for
Jesus Christ. On Saturday morning, 82,500 kids and
family members packed Rizal Park, breaking the
record for the largest children’s event ever held there.
In March, God brought a message of new life to a
shattered city through the historic Celebration of
Hope in New Orleans, Louisiana, and 1,365 people
made public commitments to Christ.
Billy Graham toured ruined neighborhoods with his
son, offered encouragement to local pastors, and
delivered Sunday’s closing message. During the two-
day event at the city’s Superdome, the Grahams
reminded crowds that real hope is found only in Jesus.
Weeks later, inmates at what was once America’s
bloodiest prison heard a message of forgiveness and
freedom. The Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola
is still a maximum-security prison, and many inmates
are serving life sentences without the possibility of
parole. Before the Festival, Franklin Graham visited
and prayed with the men on Death Row.
More than 300 churches prepared for the Gulf
Coast Festival in Mobile, Alabama, overcoming racial
barriers, as well as the physical trials brought on by
hurricanes Ivan, Dennis, and Katrina. Franklin Graham
spoke on the kind of relief that can only come from
God, and hundreds put their trust in Christ.
In July, the Metro Maryland Festival was held in
Oriole Park at Camden Yards, the only time in 2006
that this famed venue hosted a nonbaseball event. A
record 81,000 people attended the Festival, and 3,255
made decisions for Christ. Billy Graham also made an
appearance, preaching the sermon on the final day.
Next Franklin Graham traveled to Quito, Ecuador, for
Festival de Esperanza (Festival of Hope). More than
140,000 people attended the two-day Festival—the
country’s largest evangelistic event—and broke the
attendance record at Olympic Stadium.
In late fall, God’s love melted cold hearts in frigid
Winnipeg during the Central Canada Festival. Overflow
crowds attended each night, and more than 2,000
people responded to the call to follow Jesus.
The Okinawa Festival, the final event for 2006,
marked the first time that local Japanese-speaking
churches and international English-speaking churches
joined together to reach out to the island with the
Good News of Jesus Christ.
Considering that less than 1 percent of the
population of Japan is Christian and the average
church has only 40 members, local organizers were
astonished at the response to the Festival. More than
30,000 people turned out to hear the Gospel, and
1,784 responded to make decisions for Christ.
During a follow-up phone callafter the Festival in Mobile,Ala., one woman said theevent saved her life. Two and ahalf years earlier, her husbandhad died. When HurricaneKatrina washed ashoremonths before the Festival,she lost her new boyfriendand several close friends.Dejected and hopeless, shewas contemplating suicide. Onthe final evening shediscovered something worthliving for and came forward togive her heart to Jesus Christ.

WILL GRAHAM CELEBRATIONS
In 2006, William Franklin “Will” Graham, IV, held
his first large-scale evangelistic Crusade in the U.S.
with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Crowds totaling more than 12,600 attended the
Greater Gaston Celebration in Gastonia, North
Carolina. Will preached to an audience of 4,500 on
the opening night, a record for the decades-old
stadium. During the three-day Celebration, over
450 people came forward to make personal decisions for Jesus Christ.
Cliff Barrows and George Beverly Shea, longtime Crusade partners of
Billy Graham, joined Will on stage.
VIKTOR HAMM
In June, Christian leaders across the Ukraine
joined Viktor Hamm in holding the Festival of
Hope in the southwestern city of Chernovtsy. With
overflow attendance during the three-day
Festival, more than 44,000 people came to hear
the Good News, and over 1,800 made personal
decisions for Jesus Christ. At the sight of fellow
Ukrainians finding new life in Christ, one attendee
said, “It’s a joy to see the happy faces of those who have found what
they have been seeking for so long.”
The event was held as part of year-long preparations for Franklin
Graham’s upcoming Festival in Ukraine, which will be held in the
nation’s capital, Kiev, in July 2007.
ROBERT CUNVILLE
In addition to his major responsibilities as
chairman of My Hope-India, Robert Cunville held
14 evangelistic Festivals of Peace all across India—
many in areas traditionally hostile to the Gospel.
We praise God that over 691,000 people heard
the Good News, and more than 41,000 made
public commitments for Christ.

MY HOPE
WORLD EVANGELISM TELEVISION PROJECT • The
My Hope World Evangelism Television Project is small group
evangelism on a massive, nationwide scale, modeled after
the Apostle Matthew, who invited many friends into his
house to meet the Savior. • Last year, Christians in Mexico,
the Philippines, and India became “Matthews” as they
received evangelistic
training from BGEA
and—with much
prayer—invited
friends into their
homes to watch
special TV programs
featuring Gospel
messages by Billy or
Franklin Graham. Praise God, more than 3.7 million
individuals have recorded decisions for Jesus Christ! • In
Mexico, over 20,000 partner churches from every state in
the country trained nearly 261,000 congregants for this
relationship-evangelism outreach. Many of these believers,

eager to share their faith, did not wait for the
My Hope broadcasts to tell their loved ones and
neighbors about Christ.
One small church in Mexico City grew by almost
one-third, weeks before the broadcasts even began.
The church, having limited resources, tore down the
back wall of their sanctuary to accommodate the
overflow crowd.
By God’s grace, our team was able to buy airtime
on one of Mexico’s most powerful TV networks. One
My Hope host marveled, “I never thought that they’d
broadcast a national program like this. … We’ve never
had anything like this in Mexico before.”
More than 433,000 Mexicans responded to the
Gospel and committed their lives to Jesus Christ.
The My Hope-Philippines initiative grew out of the
Franklin Graham Metro Manila Festival in February as
Christian leaders across the island nation wanted to
see more of their countrymen come to Christ.
Just weeks before the telecasts, two powerful
typhoons hit the central Philippines, killing hundreds,
destroying electrical grids, and demolishing
thousands of houses. One pastor in a region
devastated by the final typhoon showed a My Hope
video on CD (VCD) in public settings because he had
access to only one generator. Over 70 people made
decisions for Christ in one evening.
But God was faithful, and My Hope programs were
broadcast on more than 100 local stations, which
covered most of the nation. In addition, over 80,000
DVDs and VCDs were distributed to pastors prior to
the telecasts to ensure that people on every island
had an opportunity to hear the Gospel. Churches
across the nation recorded more than 528,000 total
decisions for Christ.
Following previous successful My Hope efforts in
India, BGEA decided to carry out a third outreach
at Christmas.
Through broadcasts in 11 languages on 69 networks,
My Hope programs saturated India’s airwaves with the
Good News of Jesus Christ for three days.
In some areas, participating Christians willingly
faced severe religious persecution for the joy of
seeing others find new life in Jesus, and extremists
burned several partner churches to the ground. Four
My Hope regional coordinators were beaten and
another shot to death because he refused to stop
teaching Christians how to win others to Christ. In
eastern and central India, pastors in remote villages
were beaten or killed by radicals.
God showed that His love and power are greater
than any rival, and in 2006, over 2.7 million Indian
people had made commitments to the One who gives
hope beyond the trials of this life.
Struggling through a difficult marriage,29-year-old Maricel had consideredtaking her children and leaving herhusband. Before she could, the coupleaccepted a neighbor’s invitation towatch one of our My Hope programs.That night’s broadcast across thePhilippines featured a story about awoman who finds strength in the midstof her adultery-torn marriage by turningto Jesus Christ. Maricel and herhusband, touched by Franklin Graham’smessage recorded at the Manila Festival,gave their hearts to the Savior—alongwith eight other guests. Within days,Maricel reported that her marriage wassaved and the family restored.

RAPID RESPONSE TEAM
The Rapid Response Team was formed after the
terrorist attacks of 9/11 to offer the compassion of
Jesus Christ during times of crisis or natural disaster.
Volunteer chaplains with the Rapid Response Team
comfort and pray with victims, local pastors, and first-
responders (firefighters, police, National Guard, etc).
Last year 1,776 chaplains from 37 states were
deployed to the Gulf Coast in our continuing ministry
to the region after Hurricane Katrina, and they
prayed with 44,130 people. Between August 12 and
September 18, BGEA sent 97 chaplains to
Binghamton, New York, after the region suffered the
worst flooding in nearly 30 years, and they ministered
to 507 people. In total, more than 2,600 people made
life-changing decisions to follow Jesus Christ after
speaking with Rapid Response Team chaplains.
WORLD EMERGENCY FUND
Established in 1973, the World Emergency Fund has
shared the compassion of Christ through physical and
spiritual relief with multitudes around the world in the
midst of crisis. During 2006, the World Emergency
Fund continued to minister to people in areas ravaged
by the 2004 tsunami in South Asia and by hurricanes
along the Gulf Coast.
BGEA’s work to rebuild a fishing village in India,
newly named the Village of Hope, is nearing
completion, and many homes that were damaged or
destroyed by the tsunami have been rebuilt. Hundreds
of patients from nearby villages were treated in the
medical clinic, and children from miles around were
educated in the village school. This previously
underdeveloped area is now thriving with residents
who are grateful for their new community.
Amar was at church when the SouthAsian tsunami hit his village onDecember 26, 2004. Though he usedto worship other gods, 19 years agoAmar came to faith in Christ, and hislife was changed forever. As the firstChristians in his village, Amar’s familyfaced persecution from their neighbors,but after the devastating tsunami andBGEA’s work to rebuild his village, manyhearts are now open to the Gospelmessage. “It is the Christians who arereaching out to our needs, and we tell[the other villagers] it is because of thelove of Christ,” Amar says. The numberof Christians in the village has grownsteadily, and approximately 50 familiesnow have the peace that comes fromknowing Christ.

TRAINING MINISTRIESDARE TO BE A DANIEL
In 2006, we launched our youth
evangelism training ministry, Dare to Be
a Daniel, to help equip youth to stand for
Christ and share their faith with others.
Based on the life of Daniel in the Old
Testament, the program encourages
students to obey God, pray and study His
Word, pick godly friends, and point
others to Jesus.
Dare to Be a Daniel consists of a youth-
oriented Web site—daretobeadaniel.com—
and a printed booklet with a CD-ROM.
More than 223,000 booklets and CD-
ROMs were ordered, and thousands of
youth completed the program.
Daretobeadaniel.com offers students exclusive,
members-only resources, including spiritually
encouraging videos, articles, and an online message
board. Since its launch in May, more than 5,600
individuals have registered, and people have visited
the site over 158,000 times.
Last July, 75 youth from states across the nation,
including Florida, Alaska, and California, traveled to
The Cove for Camp Daniel. The campers—all graduates
of Dare to Be a Daniel—participated in intensive
evangelism training, while enjoying typical summer
camp activities such as hiking and horseback riding.
Our ministry team also began work on an exciting
and relevant 13-session group curriculum. Utilizing a
number of different media, the finished course will
include a leader’s guide and student field manuals,
as well as a DVD featuring video vignettes for each
session and a CD-ROM containing handouts and
other reproducible items for course leaders. The
Dare to Be a Daniel group training resource will be
ready for use in early 2007.
“What’s that?” 13-year-old Brian’sfriend asked. Brian explained thedog tags he received aftercompleting BGEA’s Dare to Be aDaniel youth evangelism training.Walking his friend through the eye-catching witnessing tool, Brian readout loud, “God loves you,” “Sinseparates you from God,” “Jesus isthe Way.” Using the dog tags, Brianwas able to share the Gospel withhis friend. When he shared the tagcontaining a prayer to accept Christ,his friend did not hesitate andaccepted Jesus into his heart.

THE BILLY GRAHAM TRAINING CENTER AT THE COVE
Long before the Billy Graham Training Center at The
Cove was built on 1,500 acres of mountainside near
Asheville, North Carolina, Billy and Ruth Graham laid
the foundation with prayer. They asked God for a
retreat where believers could be trained in His Word to
win others to Christ.
Their prayers continue to be answered today as
guests come from around the world to hear premier
Christian speakers, worship and fellowship with other
believers, and be refreshed by God in the splendor of
His creation.
In 2006, over 21,000 guests attended life-changing
seminars and other group ministry opportunities at
The Cove, and more than 800 made commitments to
Jesus Christ.
COUNSELING AND FOLLOW-UP
Our Counseling and Follow-Up ministry trained nearly
50,000 individuals for personal evangelism through
our Christian Life and Witness Course (CLWC) in 2006,
and during the course, over 4,500 made commitments
to Christ. An integral part of any Crusade outreach,
over 23,900 of these CLWC graduates served as
volunteer counselors during Franklin Graham Festivals,
Will Graham Celebrations, and other events, and they
helped lead 58,667 individuals in making personal
decisions for Jesus Christ.
BILLY GRAHAM SCHOOLS OF EVANGELISM
Through intensive conference-style training,
Billy Graham Schools of Evangelism equip pastors,
church leaders, and their spouses to lead congregations
in reaching their communities for Jesus Christ.
More than 15,000 people attended Schools of
Evangelism and similar training sessions in the U.S.,
Canada, Ecuador, Panama, Paraguay, and Ukraine last
year. One Ukrainian attendee said, “Everything we
have heard here will serve for the revival in our
personal life and our churches.”
During a seminar at The Cove, Carolineand her husband went to a trainingsession on sharing their faith. Caroline’sthoughts turned to her mother, who hadlong been resistant to the Gospel, andshe felt a strong conviction to share thetract she had just received with hermother. When the couple arrived home,Caroline began to read through thebooklet with her mother. Before shecould finish, her mother was in tears.Within an hour of returning home fromtheir retreat at The Cove, Caroline hadled her mother to the Lord Jesus Christ.

TELEVISION
Last year we aired seven prime-time television specials on broadcast
network affiliates or Christian cable networks across the U.S. and Canada.
Our 2006 programs featured messages from Billy and Franklin Graham,
musical performances, and powerful testimonies. These programs reached
into an estimated 9.9 million homes with the life-changing news of Jesus
Christ. Thousands more heard the
Gospel through weekly broadcasts
of classic Billy Graham Crusades
on TBN. After watching BGEA programs, more than 26,000 people called
our phone centers to make decisions for Jesus Christ and pray with
operators who are trained much like counselors at BGEA Crusades. Over
130,200 requested the free Gospel book offered during the TV special.
RADIO
Using radio, the Internet, and satellite (Sirius and Sky Angel), our radio
outreaches The Hour of Decision—now in its 57th year—and Decision Minute
boldly proclaim the Good News of Christ in six languages to a potential
audience of over 80 percent of the earth’s population. To reach out to
people in Asia and Africa, we translated and broadcast programs in Farsi,
Mandarin, and West African French.
BGEA’s listener-supported ministry, Blue Ridge Broadcasting (BRB),
operates four stations, including 106.9 the Light WMIT, 1010 WFGW, and
WFGW.org. Last year BRB celebrated its 44th year of ministry, and we
launched LaLuzDeCristo.org, an Internet outreach to the Latino community.
INTERNATIONAL FILM MINISTRY
BGEA’s evangelistic films are being used in dozens of countries to share
the Good News of Christ, and during 2006, we expanded our
international distribution of these evangelistic movies into Germany,
Cambodia, Mexico, Nigeria, and the Netherlands.
Last year, films were broadcast on TV in Guatemala, South Korea, and
a number of countries in Europe and Africa. Several movies aired the
message of Jesus Christ to the Middle East, reaching Egypt, Jordan,
Syria, Lebanon, and Turkey. We know of at least 35,110 decisions for
Christ recorded around the world through this film ministry in 2006, but
only God knows the full harvest of these seeds sown for the Gospel.
A 21-year-old called inafter a BGEA telecastand shared that both ofhis parents wereatheists and he hadnever been in a churchor read a Bible.

DECISION MAGAZINE
For 47 years, Decision magazine has been
proclaiming Good News in print and helping readers
grow in their faith. During 2006, BGEA produced
more than 6.7 million copies of Decision, and it was
distributed in 97 countries in three languages. In
partnership with prison chaplains around the nation,
over 280,000 copies of the magazine took the Good
News to men and women behind bars. Decision
remains one of the few Christian magazines regularly
published for the blind or visually impaired, and last
year we produced over 4,500 issues in Braille and
more than 6,500 on audiotape.
CHRISTIAN GUIDANCE
BGEA’s Christian Guidance department provides
biblical study resources for everyday living, to assist
those who write in for help on overcoming daily
struggles. God blessed the department with the
opportunity to respond to 149,000 inquiries during
2006, and by God’s grace, 2,400 people made
decisions for Christ.
RESPONSE CENTER
BGEA’s toll-free Response Center is our 24-hour, 7-day
ministry to callers requesting prayer, free Gospel
materials, or help in committing their lives to Christ.
Our representatives experienced our busiest year ever,
answering more than 674,000 calls.
GRASON
Grason, the literature ministry of BGEA, continued to
offer spiritually encouraging books, movies, and
evangelism tools to thousands of people in 2006.
During the Celebration of Hope in New Orleans,
Grason helped rebuild New Orleans pastors’ libraries
with over 50,000 products.
INTERNET
God continues to use the round-the-clock outreach of
BGEA Web sites “to seek and save the lost,” and more
than 6,700 people came to faith in Jesus Christ online
in 2006. Thousands of others—Christians and seekers
alike—sought direction and encouragement in the
extensive spiritual help sections of our sites.
Resources including articles, audio and video clips, and
answers from Billy Graham provide biblical responses
to hundreds of questions.
A young woman grew up watchingBilly Graham on TV and longed fora relationship with God. After yearsof searching, she again felt Godpulling at her heart. She was waryof visiting a church, and God drewher to the BGEA Web site.Encouraged to learn more, shesoon began attending a churchclose to her home. Six weeks later,the woman came to faith in JesusChrist. “I am not sure that I wouldever have made that step if … yourorganization did not have this Website,” she wrote.

OPERATION BLESS OUR TROOPS
Operation Bless Our Troops sends a message of
encouragement and hope in Jesus Christ to U.S.
servicemembers through multimedia packets. Each
kit includes a CD featuring worship songs, the
Billy Graham film Last Flight Out on DVD, and simple
steps for beginning a walk with the Prince of Peace.
By the end of 2006, over 16,900 packages were sent
to U.S. troops around the world at the request of
family and friends. Many more were distributed by
military chaplains, in addition to books and other
materials provided by BGEA.
One sergeant told us, “The music strengthened and
kept me in His grace and mercy throughout my days
here in Iraq. Thank you.” Another soldier said the
package helped her deal with being far from home,
because it reminded her that “God is always there.”
When another servicemember was asked if he shared
the package with other soldiers, he replied, “Yes. They
love free stuff, which opens the door for evangelism.”
WEST POINT TRAINING CONFERENCE AT THE COVE
In November, over 100 West Point officers and their
spouses attended the West Point Training Conference
at The Cove. The three-day event provided a much-
needed physical and spiritual retreat as these guests
of honor experienced fellowship, worship, and
teaching that equipped them to more effectively
share the love of Jesus Christ with those they
encounter in their military calling.
LIVE EVENTS
On Easter morning Franklin Graham brought Good
News to injured soldiers, their families, and medical
staff at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in
Washington, D.C. In conjunction with Franklin’s
Okinawa Festival in November, BGEA hosted a
luncheon for 1,100 Marines at Camp Hansen, to honor
and thank these brave men and women for their
service to our country. Personnel were given a packet
of materials containing an Operation Bless Our Troops
DVD and CD, a copy of Billy Graham’s book Peace with
God, and other Gospel literature.
On Christmas Day, an officerwho attended our militaryseminar at The Cove gave hiswife a gift she had long prayedfor—the news of his faith inJesus Christ. The Gospelmessage he heard at theconference stirred his heart, anddays after the retreat, he soughtout his chaplain with questions.He found answers and prayed tobegin a new life in Christ.

were constructed, each examining a different facet of
Mr. Graham’s life and ministry. The Graham family
homeplace was replicated with as many original pieces
as possible, and it will give visitors a glimpse into the
evangelist’s family life in the 1920s and 1930s.
THE LOOK
The Library’s farm setting emphasizes Billy Graham’s
humble beginnings. Visitors must enter the barn
through doors at the base of a 40-foot glass cross,
symbolizing the message of Christ that the beloved
evangelist has preached for over 60 years.
The lobby will include a bookstore called Ruth’s
Attic—named for Billy Graham’s wife, Ruth Bell
Graham—and will include books by the Graham family,
Christian classics, Bibles, custom gift items, BGEA films,
and DVDs of classic Billy Graham Crusades. Bookstore
resources will be carefully selected to ensure that they
help visitors grow in their walk with God.
AN ONGOING CRUSADE
Upon entering the core experience of the Library,
visitors will see multimedia presentations and state-of-
the-art exhibits, plus artifacts and photographs, as
they explore the man, the ministry, the
message, and the mission of Billy Graham.
The experience illustrates the mighty things
God can do through a single life that is
yielded to Him.
It is estimated that 200,000 visitors will
tour the Library each year, and everyone will
hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ numerous
times during the visit. Guests will have the
opportunity to make a decision for Christ at
the conclusion of the tour. With God’s
blessing, the Billy Graham Library will truly be
an ongoing Crusade for generations to come.
THIS IS THE BILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
The Billy Graham Library
“It is my prayer that thiscenter will be a testimony tothe world of the amazing loveof God and the great thingsHe can do through lives thatare surrendered to Him.”

OUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENTTO YOU
• We subscribe to a written statement of faith
clearly affirming our commitment to the
evangelical Christian doctrine. Advancing the
Gospel of Jesus Christ is the singular
objective of our financial conduct.
• We are governed by a Board of Directors, the
majority of whom are not staff members or
their relatives. Our full Board meets at least
two times annually to establish policies, set
budgets, oversee operations, and review
ministry accomplishments.
• Our financial statements are prepared in
accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. We obtain an annual
audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards by an independent public
accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP.
• Our Board appoints an audit committee, none
of whom are staff members or their relatives,
to review the annual audit and report its
findings to the Board.
• We seek to conduct our activities with the
highest standards of integrity and to avoid
conflicts of interest. Because we believe that
it is God’s place to prompt a response to our
fund-raising appeals, we shun high-pressure or
manipulative fund-raising tactics.
• Our fund-raising appeals clearly identify the
purpose and programs to which donations will
be applied, and we ensure that donations are
used for the purposes for which they were
raised. Occasionally, we receive more
contributions for a given project than can be
wisely applied to that project. When that
happens, we use these funds to meet a similar
pressing need. Our policy is to meet the needs
God lays before us, so that Christ is lifted up
and the Gospel advanced.
• Contributions to the ministry are tax-
deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
• We will not operate this ministry with
indebtedness that dishonors the cause of
Christ and hinders the work of the Gospel.

Report of Independent Auditors
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORSBILLY GRAHAM EVANGELISTIC ASSOCIATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position of Billy Graham Evangelistic
Association and Affiliated Organizations (collectively referred to as the Organization) as of December 31, 2006 and
the related consolidated statements of activities and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Organization’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The prior year summarized comparative information has been derived from
the Organization’s 2005 financial statements and, in our report dated March 3, 2006, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those financial statements.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Organization’s
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting
as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Organization’s internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the
consolidated financial position of Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Affiliated Organizations as of December 31,
2006 and the consolidated changes in its net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with
United States generally accepted accounting principles.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Ministry
The mission of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (the
Association) is to support and extend the evangelistic calling and
ministries of Billy Graham and Franklin Graham by proclaiming the
Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to all we can by every effective
means available to us and by equipping others to do the same.
Support is received primarily through contributions and deferred
giving programs.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the Association
and the following other affiliates: Blue Ridge Broadcasting
Corporation; Graham Fund for Evangelism; ICIE, Inc.; and ICIE-
Stichting. In accordance with SOP 94-3, management annually
evaluates which entities should be consolidated for financial
statement presentation purposes.
The affiliated organizations strengthen the ministries of the
Association and share the same goals and purposes. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The financial statements include certain summarized prior year
comparative information in total but not by net asset classification.
Such information does not include sufficient detail to constitute a
presentation in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States. Accordingly, such information should
be read in conjunction with the Organization’s financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2005, from which the summarized
information was derived.
Certain amounts in the December 31, 2005 consolidated
statement of activities have been reclassified to conform to current
year presentation. On the consolidated statement of activities,
certain expenses previously reported in Other Evangelical Ministry
Expenses have been reclassified to better reflect the specific
ministry nature of the expenditures.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less. For the purposes of the Statement
of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents included in investments
functioning as endowment and investments in the deferred giving
program are not considered cash and cash equivalents.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at average cost.
Property and Equipment
Land is stated at cost. Buildings, improvements, and equipment
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of
buildings, improvements, and equipment is calculated using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Costs of new
facilities and improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and
repairs are charged to expense in the period incurred.
Investments
Investments in equity securities with readily determinable fair
values and all debt securities are recorded at fair value based upon
quoted market prices. Other investments (such as real property)
are reported at the lower of cost or fair value. Donated investments
without a readily determinable fair value are stated at a nominal
value. Investment income or loss (including gains and losses on
investments, interest, and dividends) is included in the change in
unrestricted net assets unless the income or loss is restricted by
the donor.
Investment income is recorded net of investment expenses. For
the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, investment expenses
were $692,259 and $767,654, respectively.
Realized gains or losses on investments are determined by
comparison of specific cost of acquisition to proceeds at the time of
disposal. Unrealized gains or losses are calculated by comparing
cost to market values at the statement of financial position date.
Deferred Giving Program
The Association has a fully funded program whereby deferred
gifts can be made through gift annuity and trust participation.
All gift annuity fund assets are held in trust by a bank and
managed by investment management companies. Various state
laws require that the Association maintain segregated accounts
with assets equal in amount to the actuarial reserve necessary to
pay the annuities plus an additional reserve. Some state laws also
establish specific investment regulations related to the manner in
which the assets are invested. Trust assets are held and managed
by the Association.
The Association records assets received in the deferred giving
program at their fair value and records the liabilities incurred. The
liability is recorded at the present value of payments to be made
under annuity and irrevocable trust agreements over the term of
the agreements, usually the beneficiaries’ life expectancy. For
annuities, the present value calculation used a 3.75% discount rate.

For trusts, the present value calculation used a discount rate of
4.702% in 2006 and 4.375% in 2005. Revaluations of expected
future payments to beneficiaries based on changes in life
expectancy are calculated using the Annuity 2000 mortality table
for annuities and the 90MT mortality table for trusts as well as
other actuarial assumptions and are recorded as a change in value
of annuities and trusts in the statement of activities. The
contribution portion is recognized as income at the time the
agreement is executed. Revocable trust agreements are recorded as
a liability until the agreement becomes irrevocable or the assets are
distributed, at which time the contribution revenue is recognized.
The Association is also named as a beneficiary in revocable trusts
and wills which are not managed by the Association. These assets
are not included in the consolidated statement of financial position,
as the Association’s share of these assets cannot be determined.
Deferred Revenue
The subscription price of Decision magazine is charged to
unearned subscriptions when received and is amortized to income
over an 11-month period.
Advertising Costs
The Association expenses advertising costs as incurred. For the
years ending December 31, 2006 and 2005, advertising costs
totaling approximately $12,757,000 and $15,620,000, respectively
primarily related to television airtime to promote airing of
evangelistic telecasts, evangelistic crusades and festivals, and free
offers for literature and materials.
Allocation of Joint Costs
Certain expenditures of the Association and affiliates (radio and
television, direct mail, and postage) relate to both ministry expenses
and support activities. The allocation of these joint costs is based on
estimates of the content, audience, and purpose of these expenditures.
Total joint costs and respective allocations are as follows:
Income Taxes
The Association and significant affiliated organizations are
exempt from federal income taxes, and contributions to them are
deductible as charitable contributions under Internal Revenue Code
Section 170. The Internal Revenue Service has issued determination
letters to the Association and exempt affiliated organizations stating
that they qualify for tax-exempt status under Internal Revenue Code
Section 501(c)(3). The Internal Revenue Service has also issued
rulings stating that they will not be treated as private foundations
within the meaning of Internal Revenue Code Sections 509(a)(1),
509(a)(2), and 509(a)(3), except foreign affiliates.
Net Asset Classifications
Permanently restricted net assets include contributions which
donors have specified must be maintained in perpetuity. The related
income may be expended for such purpose as specified by the
donor or, if none, then for any purpose of the Association.
Temporarily restricted net assets are comprised of funds which
are restricted by donors for specific purposes or time periods.
Unrestricted net assets represent funds which are fully available,
at the discretion of management and the Board of Directors, for the
Association to utilize in any of its programs or supporting services.
Temporarily Restricted Contributions
The Association records contributions as temporarily restricted if
they are received with donor stipulations that limit their use either
through purpose or time restrictions. When donor restrictions
expire, that is, when a time restriction ends or a purpose restriction
is fulfilled, temporarily restricted net assets are reclassified to
unrestricted net assets and reported in the statement of activities
as net assets released from restrictions.
During 2006, the Board of Directors established a policy that up
to 10 percent of all donor-restricted contributions for a specific
project may be used for administering the gift, if needed.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the
financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting for Long-Lived Assets
The Association records losses on long-lived assets used
in operations when indicators of impairment are present
and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets’
carrying amount.

Separate net asset designations have been made for the
Billy Graham Training Center (The Cove Charitable Trust Fund), the
Graham Fund for Evangelism, the Billy Graham Library fund, and for
future ministries.
The purpose of The Cove Charitable Trust Fund is to receive, hold,
and invest assets in trust to be used for supporting, maintaining, and
improving the facilities and ministry at the Billy Graham Training
Center consistent with the evangelistic purposes of the Association.
The purpose of the Graham Fund for Evangelism is to receive,
hold, and invest assets in trust to be used for supporting,
maintaining, and improving the facilities and ministry at the Graham
Center at Wheaton College consistent with the evangelistic purposes
of the Association.
The purpose of the Billy Graham Library fund is to receive, hold,
and invest assets to produce income to support, maintain, and
improve the facility to be known as the Billy Graham Library located
in Charlotte, North Carolina consistent with the evangelistic
purposes of the Association.
The purpose of the future ministries fund is to receive, hold, and
invest assets in trust to be used for continuing and growing ministry
activities through special evangelistic projects such as the My Hope
television project. In addition, a portion of these funds is held to
provide for operating cash flow needs of the organization.
In 2006 and 2005, $10,672,888 and $17,414,287, respectively, was
transferred from the fund functioning as endowment for future
ministries to support various special projects, including the My Hope
television project. Also, $1,672,726 and $2,701,101 in 2006 and 2005,
respectively, was transferred from The Cove Charitable Trust Fund

maintenance, security, and capital improvements.
The Board reserves the right to change its designations or
expend the principal of any of these funds by future board action.
Permanently Restricted Net Assets

has been performed and it was determined that fees paid are at or
below market rates. The agreement further requires full disclosure
to the Board of Directors and determination at the conclusion of the
agreement of the reasonableness of profits, if any. A review of the
reasonableness of profits earned from construction of the
headquarters building was performed in 2005, and the Board of
Directors has concluded that The Keith Corporation did not earn a
profit on this phase of the agreement. A similar review will be
performed after construction of the Billy Graham Library is
completed. The Keith Corporation was paid $366,863 in 2006 and
