Billy Zeoli was an American evangelical leader, speaker and media executive from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Zeoli's book "God's Got a Better Idea" described the many issues that the two discussed including; clemency for draft evaders, the U. S. withdrawal from Vietnam, the Mayaguez incident, and the difficult question of issuing a pardon to former U.S. President Richard Nixon, who had resigned following the Watergate scandal and the administration's attempted cover-up of its involvement.
He created a free film program for American schools, prisons and the military, while leveraging the power of media for evangelizing the globe though the use of indigenous clergy.
The 1977 documentary film series was hosted by the American philosopher and missionary theologian Francis Schaeffer of L'Abri fame.
Over the decades, Zeoli would helm the many technological transitions in media format, from film to video to DVD and in 1995, launched GospelCom, an innovative Christian website and partnership and hosting portal, where ministries could work together to reach out to their constituencies.
By the mid 2000s, Zeoli stepped away from day-to-day operations of Gospel Communications and eventually, the 2008 financial crisis contributed to the shuttering of the organization.
