Billy Graham’s Spiritual Connection to New England
What is even more remarkable is the chain of events that followed Moody’s conversion to Christ. Consider:
- Edward Kimball, a Boston Sunday School teacher, leads a shoe clerk named D. L. Moody to the Lord.
- D. L. Moody ministers in England, and the heart of a young pastor, F. B. Meyer, is lit ablaze with evangelistic zeal when exposed to Moody.
- F. B. Meyer becomes a great Bible teacher, and while ministering on college campuses in the United States, leads a student named Wilbur Chapman to the Lord.
- Wilbur Chapman attends a D. L. Moody meeting in Chicago and becomes one of Moody’s co-workers.
- Wilbur Chapman employs an ex-baseball player named Billy Sunday as one of his assistants.
- Billy Sunday becomes a great evangelist and preaches in Charlotte, NC, organized by his organization, which later became known as the Christian Business Men’s Committee.
- The CBMC invites an evangelist named Mordecai Ham to Charlotte.
- Mordecai Ham preaches in a tent meeting where Billy Graham is saved.
It all started when a Sunday School teacher reached out to a struggling young man, D. L. Moody, who only had a fifth-grade education.
