Never Underestimate the Power of a Sunday School Teacher

Are there certain people in your life that you feel it’s impossible for them to come to Christ?  Then join Mr. Edward Kimball, a Sunday School teacher in the mid 1800s.

He commented, “I can truly say that I have seen fewer persons whose minds were spiritually darker than this one man who came to my Bible class.  Never had there been anyone more unlikely to become a Christian. There seemed to be no sphere of public usefulness for him.” Yet in April 1855, Edward Kimball he brought this youngster to Christ.  The boy was later acclaimed in being the greatest evangelist of the 19th century with his crusades gathering between 15,000 to 30,000 people.

Who was this young boy with a once, “spiritually dark mind who apparently had no place in public usefulness?”  It was Dwight L. Moody, founder of the Moody Bible Institute.

Never underestimate of the power a “meager” individual sharing the gospel.  God’s specialty remains:  reaching into the souls of the “impossible.”
