In 1958 Mr. Kimbell, a Sunday school teacher, prayed with one of his students (a shoe salesman) to become a Christian. The salesman, Dwight L. Moody, became a great evangelist. In 1879, Moody was sharing the good news of Jesus and a young man, F.B. Meyer, met Christ; this young man became zealous for preaching the "good news." While preaching on an American college campus, F.B.Meyer brought a student, J. Wilbur Chapman, to Christ. Chapman later employed an ex-baseball player, Billy Sunday, to do evangelistic work.
Billy Sunday became one of the greatest Christian preachers and evangelist in the early 1900s. Once after Billy Sunday preached in Charlotte, a group of local business-men were so enthusiastic, they decided to bring another man, Mordecai Hamm, to preach. In that revival meeting a young man, Billy Graham, yielded his life to Christ. Billy Graham has since preached to more people in person than any person in the world. And so, the story goes on and on.
It's so amazing how they traced it as far back as possible. So indeed what we do now, no matter how small it is, might have a mighty impact in the future.
Went to visit Acts church with Carrie the other day. Very homey-kinda-feeling. The preaching was just awesome, I'm pretty hard to please, and I had to get a MTG (Message To Go). I thought their wall of influence was impressive. Inspired from the Selangor state map. :)
