In 1989, he reached out to the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, where he rose through the ranks to become the organization’s CEO in 2000, and then the association’s president in 2002. He opted to join Bob Pierce on a six-week mission after identifying himself as a Christian. Graham thought a lot on the way and eventually decided to focus on the important topic of world relief.
Pierce was later chosen to be the president of Samaritan’s Purse after his death in 1979. He is now the organization’s CEO and used to be a vital element of the organization as a member of the organization’s top officials for over 100 countries. There have been some controversies later in his career. One of the most popular was when he was able to draw a full-time salary from the organization’s actual income, which was called into doubt in 2008.
