The BGEA was instrumental in: founding the magazine, CHRISTIANITY TODAY, and Wheaton College's Billy Graham Center; sponsoring a series of international and regional conferences on evangelism, beginning in 1966. It's headquarters was in Minneapolis, with offices in other U.S. and foreign cities.
Opened in 1964 as the Team Office to provide coodination of the numerous crusades Graham and his associate evangelists were conducting in the U.S. and internationally, Smyth oversaw the operation from 1964 to 1977, when he became Vice President of International Ministries. Henry Holley began working for the BGEA in 1966, and as director of international crusades in 1972.
