My friend, we should never underestimate how our words can impact generations to come! I would like to share with you how one man's words had an effect on several lives:On April 21, 1855 a Sunday school teacher by the name of Edward Kimball went into a Boston Shoe store where he lead a young man by the name of Dwight L. Moody to the Lord. My friend, think about that, Edward Kimball took the time to share Christ with a young boy who later became one of history's greatest evangelists of his day and his ministry is still going on to this day. But the story doesn't end there, D.L. Moody went to England where he had a huge impact on the life of author and evangelist F.B. Meyer. F.B. Meyer, with his new evangelistic fervor, influenced J. Wilbur Chapman. Then Chapman helped in the ministry of converted baseball player Billy Sunday, who had a profound impact upon Mordacai Ham. My friends, November 1934, Mordacai Ham, holding a revival in North Carolina, led a young Billy Graham to Christ who became one of history's greatest evangelists. All this from generation to generation because a Sunday School teacher shared Christ with a young boy.
My friend, you don't have to be a preacher or an evangelist to witness for Christ. Edward Kimball was a Sunday school teacher who had a heart for Christ and shared his faith. We can all do this and have an impact for generations to come.
