CHARLOTTE, N.C., Nov. 2, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) is releasing more than 1,600 messages from more than six decades of Billy Graham's evangelistic ministry -- all available for streaming online at www.billygraham.org.

Billy Graham once said, "One of the great joys of my life has been to travel around the world and meet thousands of Christians in every country." With the launch of the Billy Graham Audio Archives, thousands of people from around the world will be able to access the words and messages of Billy Graham and have another chance to "meet" the man often referred to as "America's pastor."

Visitors to www.billygraham.org can access an online collection of hundreds of audio files -- some 900 plus from Billy Graham Crusades. Other messages in the digital archive include select Hour of Decision broadcasts from 1951-1974; addresses from events ranging from the Amsterdam 1986 global evangelistic summit to Graham’s final crusade in 2005; and comments of historical importance including remarks at the funeral service of President Lyndon B. Johnson.

"Mr. Graham's messages have inspired millions around the world and will continue to do so with the release of this audio library," said Ken Barun, senior vice president of communications for BGEA. "With more than 2 billion users on the Internet, his messages can now be accessed by many more for easy listening and sharing. Our ultimate goal is to continue Billy's mission of using whatever means possible to spread the Gospel."

The searchable database will direct users to messages based on queries of specific dates, locations, message title or topics.

The streaming audio can be played via an embedded media player within the BGEA website. The archives and media player are designed to be compatible with desktop computers and mobile devices, allowing users the opportunity to listen at home or on the go.
