Other albums contain music from other BGEA team members such as Paul Mickelson, Tedd Smith, Cliff Barrows, and Grady Wilson. There are also three albums with messages and music from various Leighton Ford crusades. There is one album entitled "Our Family Favorites" with a personal message by Billy Graham. The album contains musical selections by several artists (please see separation record in this guide).
