Harold Montgomery for a time supported the Reverend Billy James Hargis' Christian Crusade radio and college ministry, which operated during the 1960s and 1970s from [[Tulsa]], [[Oklahoma]]. Hargis often cited Montgomery by name on his [[radio]] broadcasts. A forerunner of what became known as the "Religious Right," Hargis and Montgomery also shared a hostility to communism. Hargis ran into morals allegations, which dampened his ministry in 1976. Hargis's son, Billy James Hargis, Jr., (1954-2013), conducted a reduced version of his father's ministry in Houston, Texas.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/houstonchronicle/obituary.aspx?=167026139|title=Billy Hargis (Jr.) obituary|publisher=''The Houston Chronicle''|date=September 19, 2013|accessdate=July 14, 2020}}</ref>
