Who We Are
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association of Canada (BGEAC) is
well known for the powerful evangelism or outreach ministry of our
founder, Billy Graham.
His mission is our mission: "Proclaiming the Gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ to all we can by every effective means available to
us, and equipping others to do the same."
Christ offers hope, encouragement and the gift of eternal life.
The BGEAC is committed to proclaiming His message through a broad
range of regional, national and international ministries - using
methods and language that inspire, whatever the age group or
culture.
To achieve our mission, we join with local churches and
Christian communities - forging lasting partnerships to bring the
Good News through word and deed.
All of our ministries are prayerfully led by men and women with
a passion to share the Gospel.
Some of our ministries give Christians opportunities to explore
their faith and learn to share it. Other ministries give
non-believers a forum to ask questions and begin faith journeys,
while additional ministries offer a helping hand to hurting people
in unfortunate circumstances, regardless of their religion, race or
culture.
Christ said: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your
mind, and love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27)."
At the BGEAC, modeling ourselves after our founder, we strive to
do that every day..
Mission Statement
"Proclaiming the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to all we can
by every effective means available to us, and equipping others to
do the same."
Statement of Faith
These core beliefs make up the foundation upon which all our
ministry endeavors are based:
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association
believes:
The Bible matters. • The Bible to be the
infallible Word of God, that it is His holy and inspired Word, and
that it is of supreme and final authority.
The Trinity matters. • In one God, eternally
existing in three persons-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Jesus matters. • Jesus Christ was conceived by
the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He led a sinless life,
took on Himself all our sins, died and rose again, and is seated at
the right hand of the Father as our mediator and advocate.
We can't fix ourselves. • All people everywhere
are lost and face the judgment of God, and need to come to a saving
knowledge of Jesus Christ through His shed blood on the cross.
Jesus defeated death. • Christ rose from the
dead and is coming soon.
Human needs matter. • In holy Christian living,
and that we must have concern for the hurts and social needs of our
fellow humans.
Obedience to God matters. • We must dedicate
ourselves anew to the service of our Lord and to His authority over
our lives.
Effective communication matters. • In using
every modern means of communication available to us to spread the
Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.
