  • Billy Graham: a New Kind of Evangelist
    Monday, Oct. 25, 1954 Billy Graham: A New Kind of Evangelist The first one to come forward was a round, sensible-looking housewife with thick glasses. She stood as still and undramatic as if she were waiting to be served at the meat counter. The next was an eleven-year-old boy who kept his head low to hide his tears: a thin girl appeared behind him and put her arm comfortingly on his shoulder. These three were joined by a broad- shouldered young man whose machine-knitted jersey celebrated a leaping swordfish. then by a pretty young Negro woman in her best clothes with a sleeping baby in her arms. Suddenly there were too many to count, standing on the trampled grass in the blaze of lights. Some of them wept quietly, some of them stared at the ground and some looked upward. Above them all stood a tall, blond young man in a double-breasted tan gabardine suit. His handsome, strong-jawed face was drawn and his blue eyes glittered; for a few seconds he gnawed nervously on a thumbnail, and bright sweat covered his high forehead. He was speaking softly, but with an urgency that seemed to tense every muscle of his body: "You can leave here with peace and joy and happiness such as you've never known. You say: 'Well, 'Billy, that's all well and good. I'll think it over and I may come back some night and I'll—' Wait a minute! You can't come to Christ any time you want to.

ASSOCIATION NO GUARANTEE: MORDECAI Ii'. HAM, EVANGELISM AND PROHIBITION MEETINGS IN TEXAS, 1903·1919 By Jerry Hopkins Prohibition, as part of the progressive movement, involved evangelical Christians in Texas and the South. Professional evangelists were particularly drawn to prohibition, viewing it as a moral crusade to save individuals, the church, and society from destruction. To these evangelists drinking liquor was immoral. For Southern evangelicals prohibition had been a persistent preoccu­ pation. In the South this concern over man's moral depravity, particularly as it was demonstrated in drunkenness, developed into a drive for absolution that found fulfillment in the revivals conducted by such Southern evangelists as Mordecai Fowler Ham. I Mordecai Ham was born in ]877 Allen County, Kentucky, into the fami­ ly of a Baptist minister.

Inside This Issue . Mission Team Members The Director Speaks 2 Donald Hintze Sonny Halford Announcements 3 Benjamin Brizendine Calendar 3 Jeanne Newsom In 1999, my first year of full-time ministry, the Billy Graham Crusade was in St. Louis. It was exciting to be a part of the planning and follow up to the crusade and to get to hear Dr. Graham preach each night during the crusade. I took this picture from the floor of the TWA Dome as he was conducting the invitation, and it came to my mind last week when I learned of his death. As many have noted, Billy Graham is probably the most influential person in the 20th Century. He preached the gospel to hundreds of millions around the world and counseled every U.S. president from Harry Truman to Barak Obama. He is known as a man of integrity. It’s safe to say that Billy Graham was probably the best-known person in the world during his day. But do you know the name Mordecai Ham? A fiery evangelist in his own right, he preached revivals across the country, in- cluding Houston, Galveston, Bay City, and the Golden Triangle area. It is estimated that over 300,000 people came to Christ under his preaching.

  • Renew Part 4 by Ben Saayman Enthusiasm Are You Enthusiastic
    ReNew Part 4 by Ben Saayman Enthusiasm Are you enthusiastic about your life in Christ? Are you exited about your future with Him and His plans and purpose for your life? Thank God I'm not where I used to be but I still face challenges and some of them I just can't seem to get behind me. If you are battling to do something and not getting it right or seeing progress - the chances are good that you are going about it the wrong way and you should change your strategy. Not having a great day every day is not because of circumstances but a choice. Make the choice today that you are loved by God and are a conqueror in every situation you face because of the Blood of Jesus! Circumstances and situations shouldn't change you. You should change your circumstances with Jesus I have found that your attitude towards obstacles has more to do than your will power, your attitude never gets tired...your will power does however.... REMIND yourself THAT ITS not who you are but WHO'S YOU ARE IN CHRIST. Make a choice - no matter what is going on in the outside world, we know what is going on, on the inside of us, because we have Jesus and the Holy Spirit to encourage you. Matthew 5:14 TPT “Your lives light up the world. Let others see your light from a distance, for how can you hide a city that stands on a hilltop? Your Enthusiasm has the ability to light up the world.

  • It All Started with a Sunday School Teacher: What God Can Do with an Ordinary Life
    It all started with a Sunday school teacher: What God can do with an ordinary life. Have you ever been tempted to doubt the impact you can make for the Kingdom? Have you ever thought, "God can't use me; I'm just a simple [fill in the blank]." Most people have never heard of Edward Kimball, but the results of his faithfulness to God are known across the globe. How? Read on and see what God did after this Sunday school teacher dared to share his faith with others. A Sunday school teacher named Edward Kimball won a shoe store clerk to Jesus—his name was D.L. Moody. D.L. Moody traveled to England and awakened the heart of a young pastor —F.B. Meyer. F.B. Meyer became one of the great Bible expositors, came to the U.S.A. and preached on college campuses, and was used to convert a student to Christ—Wilbur Chapman. Wilbur Chapman attended one of Moody's meetings in Chicago and became D.L. Moody's co- worker. Wilbur Chapman employed an ex-baseball player as his assistant—Billy Sunday. Billy Sunday became a great evangelist and preached in Charlotte, North Carolina, at a meeting organized by the Billy Sunday Layman's Evangelistic Club (renamed Christian Business Men's Committee or CBMC). CBMC invited an evangelist to Charlotte; his name was Mordecai Ham. Mordecai Ham preached in the tent meeting where Billy Graham was saved. Billy Graham has proclaimed the Gospel to millions across the globe, and many lives have been changed forever.

  • THE LONG CHAIN by Rev
    THE LONG CHAIN By Rev. Will Nelken Presented at Trinity Community Church, San Rafael, California, on Sunday, June 16, 2019 _______________________________________________________________________________ Jerry Egglen had never preached a sermon in his life until one snowy Sunday morning. The pastor wasn’t able to make it to church due to the heavy snowfall. In fact, Mr. Egglen was the only deacon to show up. He was not a preacher, but he was faithful. So, on that particular Sunday morning, he preached. God rewarded his faithfulness, and at the end of his hesitant sermon, one young man invited Jesus Christ into his heart. No one in attendance could possibly appreciate the significance of what had taken place that morning. The young man who accepted Christ that snowy Sunday morning was none other than Charles Haddon Spurgeon, the man who became known as the “Prince of Preachers.” God blessed Spurgeon’s preaching. When he was still less than 30 years old, he became the pastor of London’s Metropolitan Tabernacle, and served that congregation for 38 years. His sermons were so powerful that although the auditorium seated 5,000 people, with standing room for another 1,000, the crowds who came to hear him were so great that they had to line up outside the building in an effort to hear. Spurgeon preached nearly 3,600 sermons and published 49 volumes of commentaries, sayings, anecdotes, illustrations, hymns, and devotions. His sermons and lectures on preaching still im- pact those who read them today. Yet, few people have ever heard of Jerry Egglen! Form a Chain Wrote Paul to Timothy: 2 Timothy 2:2 You have heard me teach things that have been confirmed by many reliable wit- nesses.

  • A Stubborn Teenager, US, High School Student September 13. Stubborn Teenager. Today Our Story Is About a Man Much Like You and M
    A Stubborn Teenager, US, High School Student September 13. Stubborn Teenager. Today our story is about a man much like you and me. When he was a child, his parents took him to church, but when he became a teenager, he was ready to put away childish things—childish things like church and preaching. This kid was from Charlotte, North Carolina. Here’s his story. If you’re suffering from a stony heart, God’s got the cure. Before it was the birthplace of NASCAR racing, before it was the home of the NFL’s Panthers, before it was home for the NBA’s Hornets, Charlotte North Carolina was called the most church- going city in the country. And that was before the arrival of Dr. Mordecai Ham. On the edge of Charlotte, the Christian Men’s Club built themselves a wood building on a steel frame. It may have been a ramshackle structure with a sawdust floor, but it could seat 5,000 people. And those devout men intended to fill it. They called a self-educated evangelist—Dr. Mordecai Ham. They called him to preach to anyone who would listen. They called for a revival. Dignified and strong, white-haired Dr. Ham knew his Bible, and he preached up a holy typhoon— morning and evening, six days a week, for eleven weeks. This is where our mule-minded teenager entered the picture. “Everything I heard or read about [Dr. Ham] made me feel antagonistic toward the whole affair,” the boy said. “It sounded like a religious circus … I did not want anything to do with an evangelist—particularly with such a colorful character as Dr.

  • Evangelist Revivalist Movement
    Te Evangelist/Revivalist Movement David Cloud Copyright 2020 Way of Life Literature, www.wayofife.org Tis is an appendage to Te History and Heritage of Fundamentalism and Fundamental Baptists, available from Way of Life Literature. Te period of 1880-1900 has been called “the Era of the Evangelist,” but we consider that far too narrow. We see the “Era of the Evangelist” extending from the 1880s to the 1950s. Fundamental Baptists were a major part of this era and have been greatly infuenced by it. Evangelistic crusades were ofen called “revivals.” Evangelists criss-crossed America, Great Britain, and other Western nations and beyond, conducting multi-week crusades that saw thousands upon thousands of professions of faith in Christ. Tere were hundreds of full-time evangelists during this era. Te following 16 give a pretty good window into those times. - Dwight L. Moody (1837-1899) - Samuel Porter Jones (1847-1906) - Benjamin Fay Mills (1857-1916) - John Wilbur Chapman (1859-1918) - Reuben Archer Torrey (1856-1928) - William A.
