Church of God USA Missions is a strategic partner with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) for the promotion of the MY HOPE AMERICA soul winning campaign, scheduled for the week of November 2-9, 2014.

Desiring to conduct “one more crusade,” but physically unable to do so, Mr. Graham conceded that the MY HOPE campaign would take the place of that crusade. The 2013 campaign was so successful with more than 26,000 churches participating and 110,000 people making a commitment to follow Christ, that the leadership of BGEA determined that it should be repeated this year.
