It Took Only One Sunday School Teacher
It Took Only One Sunday School Teacher
In 1855, a Sunday School teacher named Kimbell, led a 19-year old shoe clerk to
Jesus Christ.
He in turn became a Sunday School teacher leading other youth to Christ.
Later he became a world renowned evangelist.
His name -- Dwight L. Moody. He led hundreds of thousands to Christ in the
USA and England. Though poorly educated, Moody, in one of his English trips,
influenced the well-educated and cultured theologian,
Frederick B. Meyer to change his preaching style and emphasis.
Later F.B Meyer came to the USA on an evangelistic tour. On one occasion a
discouraged preacher,
Wilbur Chapman, was in the audience and through his preaching influenced him
to become an evangelist.
As his evangelistic ministry grew, he needed an assistant, so he hired a former
baseball player with high school education to help him.
His name - Billy Sunday.
The latter won over 1 million persons to Christ. In 1924 in Charlotte, NC, a prayer
group was formed, which met regularly. When the depression started, they
became convinced it was God's judgment on the nation.
They specifically prayed for another revival, and Mordecai Ham responded.
Later, when Ham became an evangelist and he was preaching, a 16 year old
farm lad was converted. His name -- Billy Graham.
