"What Can One Person Do?"
In 1858, a
Sunday School teacher, a Mr. Campbell,
led a Boston shoe clerk to give his
life to Christ.
The clerk, Dwight L. Moody, became an evangelist, and
in England in 1879 awakened evangelistic zeal
in the heart of Fredrick B. Meyer, pastor of a small church.
F.B. Meyer, preaching
on an American college campus,
brought a student to Christ named
J. Wilbur
Chapman.
Chapman engaged in YMCA work and employed a
former baseball player, Billy Sunday, to do evangelistic work.
Sunday held a revival in Charlotte, North Carolina.
A group
of local men were so enthusiastic afterwards
that they planned another evangelistic campaign, bringing
Mordecai
Hamm to town to preach.
In the revival a young man named Billy
Graham heard
the Gospel and yielded his life to Christ...
And the
story goes on!
Could the Sunday School teacher, Mr. Campbell,
have dreamed of what he had
started when he
was concerned about a young
lad in his class?
Is it possible a chain reaction that will affect the
next hundred
years might be started by YOU ?
