What Are You Going To Do?

What are you going to do?

As many of you know, I am using this summer to study the Word and write a few more courses for the college. This afternoon I came across the following and found it quite touching. I began thinking about my life and whether or not I impact people for the Lord. There is so much more work to do, I am not qualified, but I am willing.

I cannot take credit for the following, Chuck Missler used it in one of his teachings and he credited his friend for this information. I hope you enjoy the story.

Edward Kimball –who went to a shoe store to speak to one of his Sunday school students
Won the young man to the Lord – the name of this student was . . .

Dwight L. Moody
Dwight was preaching in the British Isles at Meyer’s church
He told of an emotionally charged story of a Sunday school teacher who witnessed to every student in his class and they were all saved

Frederick Brotherton Meyer was inspired to become an evangelist by Moody’s story of the Sunday School teacher.
He visited America several times
One time he preached in Northfield, Massachusetts
He asked ‘if you aren’t willing to give everything to God, then are you willing to be made willing’
This remark affected a confused young pastor in the audience and

J. Wilbur Chapman accepted this call in his life
He became one of them most effective evangelists of his time
A volunteer in Chapman’s ministry watched and learned how to preach from J. Wilbur Chapman, this volunteer was . . .

Billy Sunday
Sunday eventually took over Chapman’s ministry
He became one of the most effective evangelists in the 20th century
His message turned thousands to Christ
Inspired by a 1924 Sunday crusade in Charlotte NC by Sunday, a committee decided to reach their city for Christ, inviting . . .

Mordecai Ham to hold a series of evangelistic meetings
A lanky 16 year old sat in the crowd and was spell bound by the preaching of this white haired preacher
Night after night this lad attended and eventually answered the call of salvation
That teenagers name . . .

Billy Graham – we all know what Billy Graham has accomplished!

Edward Kimball
– a nobody, who went to shoe store impacted the world today


Without Him we cannot - Without us, He will not

What do you think?
What are you going to do about it?


God bless you. Kathy
