Billy Graham's Evangelistic Beginnings
Evangelist Billy Graham was the first full-time evangelist of YFCI. Graham took over Johnson's local radio program called "Songs in the Night" which was broadcast over a local station in Illinois and predated YFCI. Later still Graham left YFCI to form his own evangelistic association and commence the Hour of Decision broadcast.
