On Saturday morning, April 21, 1855 in the back stockroom of a shoe store in Chicago, Illinois; a shoe salesman and Sunday school teacher named Edward Kimball led another young shoe salesman to the Lord. On that morning Dwight L. Moody accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior.
Subsequently young Moody became an evangelist and stirred F. B. Myer to become a soul winner. Meyer brought Wilbur Chapman to the Lord, and Chapman, along with Billy Sunday, held a revival where Mordecai Ham was saved.
Dwight Moody founded the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, training thousands of young preachers.
It was Mordecai Hamm who won Billy Graham to the Lord and Graham became possibly the greatest evangelist of all time.
Could Edward Kimball have dreamed of the avalanche he was starting when he witnessed to that young shoe salesman on that Saturday morning? Can you imagine what could result the next time you witness to someone about the Lord? God has promised that His Word will not return void.
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” (Isaiah 55:11
Let’s be bold in sharing the Lord with others.
