"In the wake of World War II, YFC established “invasion teams” that the organization deployed for three- to six-month evangelistic tours to win the world for Christ. In contrast to typical career missionaries, these international evangelists exported their style of American revivalism. Short evangelistic sermons alongside upbeat music, Christian celebrities, and massive promotion, coupled with America's new global cachet, heightened international curiosity."
