Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899) began life as one of seven children in a poor New England family. At 17, his dynamic personality and affinity for sales led him to become a successful Boston shoe salesman, but his ambitions were transformed into a yearning for Christ under the kind and loving instruction of Edward Kimball. It wasn’t long before Moody’s passion for lost souls took hold of his heart and led him to embrace God’s call to the ministry. His life and ministry were constant invitations for sinners to come to Christ. He saw every person as a potential child of the King and a possible moment from eternity–powered by the Holy Spirit, this was the driving force behind Moody becoming one of the most influential evangelists and revivalists the world has ever known. Empowered by his love for lost souls and a zeal for God’s Word, he led dynamic meetings in America and Great Britain and founded Moody Bible Institute. D. L. Moody left an enduring legacy that includes three Christian schools, a Christian publishing business, and a millions of souls won for Christ.
