Since 1951, the BGEA has been making movies through its motion picture division, World Wide Pictures (WWP). However, these weren’t just created for Christians’ entertainment, but to share the Gospel through any means possible.
“Thousands will come to see a film who would never come to hear a preacher,” Billy Graham often said, recognizing the power of film for ministry.
Some of the more popular WWP films include The Hiding Place, The Restless Ones and Last Flight Out. In many cases, these movie audiences received materials explaining how to come to Jesus Christ in repentance and faith after the showings. These included response cards that were mailed directly to BGEA headquarters for follow-up.
“Hundreds of thousands of individuals accepted Christ kneeling on sticky concrete floors in theaters across America,” said Barry Werner, former director of operations for World Wide Pictures.
Billy Graham appears in a number of the films, which span from 1955 to 2003. Some of the productions have been translated into as many as 38 languages and shown around the world. In all, World Wide Pictures produced over 130 films and most importantly, recorded more than 2.5 million decisions for Christ.
