At each crusade meeting Mr. Graham presents a Gospel sermon to reach the uncommitted. He invites people “to come forward” to the platform area to make a commitment to Christ. Counselors who have been seated in a designated area are then assigned to individual “inquirers” as they move toward the counseling area. Supervisors carefully attempt to have counselors of the same sex and approximately of the same age pair with each inquirer. After a brief talk to the inquirers by Mr. Graham and a prayer on their behalf, personal counseling begins.
