When Graham was in his early twenties Dr. Bob Pierce founder of Samaritan’s Purse invited him on a six-week mission to Asia. During this time Graham felt called by God to work with hurting people in areas of the world affected by war famine disease poverty and natural disaster. Graham was elected to the Board of Samaritan’s Purse in 1978. One year later after the death of Dr. Pierce he was elected president.
Graham was elected to the Board of BGEA in 1979 and conducted his first evangelistic event in 1989. Since that time Graham has proclaimed the Gospel in the far corners of the globe holding evangelistic rallies in 47 countries and all 50 states. In 2016 Graham launched the Decision America Tour and traveled to all 50 state capitals to hold prayer rallies.

The Decision America Tour continues this year with stops in seven Northeastern states.
