sentences: Mordecai Fowler Ham, Jr. (April 2, 1877 – November 1, 1961), was an American Independent Baptist evangelist and temperance movement leader.
 He entered the ministry in 1901 and in 1936 began a radio broadcast reaching into seven southern states.
 Early in his ministry, he was ordained at Burton Memorial Baptist Church in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
Billy Graham's crusades were evangelistic campaigns conducted by Billy Graham between 1947 and 2005.
 Billy Graham conducted 417 crusades in 185 countries and territories on six continents.
 The first Billy Graham evangelistic campaign, held September 13–21, 1947, in the Civic Auditorium in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was attended by 6,000 people.
 He would rent a large venue, such as a stadium, park, or street.
 As the sessions became larger, he arranged a group of up to 5,000 people to sing in a choir.
 He would preach the gospel and invite people to come forward to ask Jesus to be their saviour and pray together.
 The inquirers were often given a copy of the Gospel of John or a Bible study booklet.
 In Moscow, in 1992, one-quarter of the 155,000 people in Graham's audience went forward at his call.
 During his crusades, he has frequently used the altar call song, "Just As I Am".
Grady Baxter Wilson (1919–1987) was an American evangelist.
 He was a close associate of Billy Graham, serving as the inaugural vice president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
 Like Graham, Wilson was converted in 1934 under the preaching of Mordecai Ham.
 He was ordained as a Baptist minister at age 19, and studied at Bob Jones College and Wheaton College.
Micah Armstrong, also known as Brother Micah, is an American Independent Baptist evangelist who preaches publicly at universities.
Burton Memorial Baptist Church (formerly Drakes Creek Baptist Church) is a historic church on Cemetery Road in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
The Church was organized December 28, 1850 by Mordecai F. Ham Sr., originally under the full name of "The United Baptist Church of Jesus Christ called Drakes Creek".
 Mordecai Ham Sr. was buried after his death at the Church Cemetery.
 His grandson, Mordecai F. Ham Jr., who is perhaps best known for leading Billy Graham to Christ, would later be ordained into ministry at then Drakes Creek Baptist Church.
The Independent Baptist Fellowship of North America (IBFNA) is a separatist fundamentalist independent Baptist fellowship for pastors and laymembers.
 Sometimes confused with the Independent Baptist Fellowship International (IBFI), the IBFNA is a northern-oriented fellowship formed by individuals who left the General Association of Regular Baptist Churches (GARBC) due to what they felt was a drift of the association away from their original separatist position.
 The Fellowship was organized in October 1990 at Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
 Its constitution was ratified in 1993 at Providence, Rhode Island.
 It is composed of individuals rather than churches.
 Individuals must renew their membership annually; churches are recognized as 'supporting churches' by financially supporting the Fellowship.
 This body is very local church oriented, and all boards, institutions, and agencies remain in the hands of the churches.
 Articles of Faith have been adopted, containing statements on the Scriptures, the Triune God, Salvation, Sanctification, the Church, Biblical Separation, Civil Government, Creation, The Fall of Man, the Devil, and End times.
 "The Review" is a quarterly published by the IBFNA.
 A Conference is held annually.
The Billy Graham Library is a public museum and library documenting the life and ministry of Christian evangelist Billy Graham.
 The 40000 sqft complex opened to the public on June 5, 2007.
 The library is located on the grounds of the international headquarters of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association in Charlotte, North Carolina, a few miles from where Graham was reared.
 The library is styled after a dairy barn, with a mechanical "talking" cow, to reflect Graham's farm-based childhood.
The Hour of Decision was a live weekly radio broadcast produced by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
 First broadcast in 1950 by the American Broadcasting Company, it was a half-hour programme featuring sermons from noted evangelist Billy Graham and hosted by Cliff Barrows, a very close friend of Graham and the long-time musical director and MC of Billy Graham's Crusades.
"The Fundamentals" was a series of twelve 128-page booklets defending the 'fundamentals' of the faith, such as the inerrancy of the Bible, the virgin birth of Christ and the literal return of Christ.
 In 1920 Curtis Lee Laws, a Baptist editor of "The Watchman-Examiner", coined the term 'fundamentalist' and defined a fundamentalist as one "ready to do battle royal for the Fundamentals of the faith."
 J. Frank Norris became a combatant in the fundamentalist/modernist controversy.
 He edited a paper entitled "The Fundamentalist".
 Both the Southern Baptist Convention and the Baptist General Convention of Texas expelled Norris because of his controversial behavior.
 Norris, C. P. Staley and others formed the Premillennial Missionary Baptist Fellowship in 1933 at Fort Worth, Texas.
 In 1938, the name was changed to World Fundamental Baptist Missionary Fellowship and then to World Baptist Fellowship (WBF) after the schism that created the Baptist Bible Fellowship International in 1950.
 The WBF was again divided in 1984, when a group led by Raymond W. Barber established the Independent Baptist Fellowship International and the Norris Bible Baptist Institute.
Maze Jackson (1923–1996) was an American Independent Baptist evangelist, best known as "Brother Maze" to fellow preachers and friends.
 Jackson hosted "The Truck Driver's Special", a long-running radio series popular among truckers and their families, as well as "believers from border to border and coast to coast".
 He was also the editor of "The Preacher's Goldmine", a sermon and Bible study magazine for ministers.
 A series of digests from this magazine was called "Golden Nuggets".
