We've prayed Amen Amen Thank you. Thank you. There you go Okay, let me share the presentation with you. Okay, so everyone can see the presentation So today we're going to talk about the light El Moodie Who was a revivalist with a common touch? So we see Moody was born in 1837 a few months before Queen Victoria began a reign and he died in December 1899 just nine days before the turn of a century So his father died when Moody was about four years old Leaving back nine children for his mother to take care. So Betsy had to raise them his mother never encouraged DL Moody to read the Bible and he only acquired the equivalent of a fifth grade education because Moody was not only a Product of his age, but also a herald of a new one So we see that he pioneered techniques of evangelism that remained largely Unchanged even today he proclaimed a new eschatology of pre-millenism and fostered a new ecumenical spirit so we see that as one ponders Moody's deprived rural boyhood and his career as an evangelist and the educator and His role as a father. He quickly Sheds the image of a Victorian antique and emerges as a real person So keeping that in mind Let's look at his early childhood for us to know more about him We see that he was struck out on his own at 817 and he was a person who sold shoes in his uncle's Boston store He also attended YMCA and a Sunday school classes where he became a Christian at the age of 18 Shortly after that he moved to Chicago Where he sold shoes and work towards his goal of amazing of a fortune of one million dollar So it's slowly dawned on Moody that in light of his new faith His life should not be spent on amazing wealth Or as much as on helping the poor so In 1858 he established a mention Sunday school at North Market Hall in a slum of Chicago So it's soon blossomed into a church From which a six years later was formed the Illinois Street Independent Church and now it is known as Moody Memorial Church So in 1861 he had left his business to concentrate on Fully on the ministry on the evangelical work. So he drew the children of the German and Scandinavian migrant Underclass to his mission with candy and pony rights and he drew the adults through evening prayer meeting and English classes So he was convinced if you can really make a man believe you love him You have one hand and that's where he met and during this ministry time is where he met and married The Sunday School Teacher Emma C. Reville with whom he had three children So as a president of the Chicago of YMCA for about four years he championed evangelistic Evangelistic and he distributed the tracks all over the city and he held daily known prayer meeting So during the Civil War he refused to fight saying in this respect I am a Quaker, but he worked Through the YMCA and the United States Christian Commission to evangelize the Union troops So he relentlessly sought and received financial support for all his projects from rich Christian businessmen Who helped him during his time So we see that Moody also believed music would be a valuable tool in his evangelical campaigns So when in 1870 he heard Ira Sanky sing at a YMCA convention He convinced Sanky to give up a well-playing government career to join him on the sawdust trail So in summer 1873 we see that Moody and Sanky were invited to the British Isles by Evangelical Anglican's William Pena further and Qtpert Brainbridge, but both sponsors died before Moody and Sanky arrived So without official enrausment Moody and Sanky held campings in New York Sunderland and gyro to minimal crowds So in Newcastle the evangelism effort began to reap converts from then on they popularity escalated So what happened immediately calls for crusades were poured in during these crusades Moody pioneered many techniques of evangelism a house-to-house canvas of resident prior to a crusade and Ecumenical approach enlisting cooperation from all local churches and We also see events little they lead is regardless of denominational affiliations Then philanthropic support by the business community We also see the rental of a large central building and the showcasing of a Gospel soloist and the use of an Inquiry room for those wanting to repent So we see that he used every opportunity to preach the Word of God and when the managers of The 1893 World Exhibition in Chicago decided to keep the fair open on Sundays Many Christian leaders called for a bike boycott Not Moody. He said let us open so many preaching places and present the Gospel So attractively that people will want to come and hear it on one single day over 130,000 people attended evangelistic meetings coordinated by Moody So he had a call along with this call II God also gave him the wisdom how to strategically Conduct the crusades and the meetings which in turn was a blessing which in turn made people to give more Priority to such meetings and be saved in them. So when people were attracted to the meeting It was not something very Flawly that he attracted but then the Word of God attracted them the word that he preached in these crusades Transform the people and yes the word Transform them and minister to them and we see that drew many others to these crusades Well, finally in 1886 we see that Moody started the Bible work Institute of the Chicago Evangelization Society and one of the first in the Bible school movement from this work he launched yet another work The Colporage Association, which is later known as Moody's press So an organization using horse drawn Gospel wagon from which students sold low-cost religious books and tracks throughout the nation So despite a tireless schedule he preached six sermons a day Just a month before he died. So from this what we understand we see that he carried a Untiring spirit within him the passion that he That he carried within himself to share the word of God inspires Even today many leaders are inspired with the passion that they carry So we see that he loved to spend time with his children and grandchildren That means he had a family time at Northfield Mazza juices from even before he could die But at the same time he died with a great passion of spreading the word to everyone So he did fight a good fight. He did keep the call that God has called him for with that We will move on to the next person Let me change the slide to the next person. Okay, these are some of the crusades Just give me a minute. Let me share some of the pictures so that y'all can take a look. Okay Everybody. Okay. They're not able to see it. Just give me a minute Sorry guys. I don't know what happened. Let me Present it again I feel this way is good if I enlarge it to change the slide it becomes difficult So maybe now it's easy for me to show you Yeah, so these were some of the meetings that he had These were the crusades the big crusades. I you don't know how they managed to Build such a big Auditorium or a theater style No, it's quite big D. L. Moody with his orphanage children Okay, with that we will move on to the next person William and Catherine Booth. Okay, everyone Able to see that great So we're going to talk now about William and Catherine Booth So William Booth was born in nothing him on April 10th 1829. He was the son of a Samuel Booth and this And the second wife made the Nemo's both from Derbyshire So the early age of William Booth was as he was born in nothing him. He had three sisters Anne Emma and Mary and a elder brother Henry who died on a second birthday So writing about his father William said my father was a grab Okay, my father was a grab a get he had been born into poverty He determined to grow rich and he died He grew very rich because he lived without God and simply worked for money And when he lost at all his heart broke with it and he died miserably You see so in 1842 when he was age 13 his father sent him to work as an apprentice to france's ms In a pawn broker's shop situated in the poorest part of nothing him nothing him So he disliked his job, but it was through his work that his social conscious was stirred And he became aware of the plight of the poor So in September the very same year his father Samuel became ill and died Though not before making a dead Death bed repentance shortly after his mother had to leave the house in Sinnington for a small shop in one of the poor quarters of the same place Where she earned a meager income selling toys needles cotton And and other things to manage or take care of her family So it was in the open street that this great change passed over him So it was this time that William started attending Broad Street Wesley Chapel That is the Methodist Church in 1844 he had a conversion experience nothing that it was in the open street of Nottingham that his great Change passed over me he says that So in 1846 he was impressed by the preacher of the Reverend James From America and David Greenberry from Karsberg encouraged by A Greenberry to join a group of fellow believers who preached in the streets So he delivered his first sermon in kid street eventually both Stopped working at the pawn broker and was out for and and was out of work for a year So that's when um, you know, he happened to meet Uh, the partner for his life. So in 1849 we see William moved to London to find work Briefly returning to pawn brokering, but also joining a chapel in clap hams So through this church, he was introduced to his future wife Catherine Mumford So after becoming an evangelist and the Methodist new connections, they married on July 16 1855 Forming a formidable and complimentary lifelong partnership. So what happened following a brief honeymoon? We see that he was appointed to circuit in Halicaf and Getshit, but finding his structure restrictive and feeling himself called to be an itrant evangelism He resigned in 1861 so four years later We see that William and Catherine moved back to london and it was here that William commenced his first open air evangelical Camping in a white chapel preaching in a tent So this ministry led to the formation of christian mission with booth as its leader We see that in 1878 the christian mission was renamed as the salvation army Which is widely known across the nations So generally booth as he was known then summed up for the purpose of his body in the following way Like we are a salvation people. This is our specialty for getting saved and keeping saved and then getting somebody else saved but there was there was like But there was to be a frequent opposition to the army's methods and principles in the early age In august 1904 William both always had a eager to make use of this new technology So he commenced his first motor tour traveling from land's end to Aberdeen And six more motor tours followed then in spring of 1905 he entered to australia and new zealand And general william booth visited the holy land where he visited many sides of the Publican significance and he conducted many Evangelical crusades there So in august 17 1912 there was a war War cry report that the general was not so Well, so three days later Following the terrific thunderstorm and i could just prayer to passing away of the army's mother 22 years before the old war You finally lay down this sword So we see that in a public memorial service he arranged that olympic on the following wednesday people They were about 35 000 people who attended including queen alexander who came incognito and representatives of the king george Fifth and queen mary was present in that Evangelical meeting that he conducted in that place We also see that He left a legacy from through the salvation army where many Many people many people were saved and many leaders were raised So one such leader whom we see is smith wigglesworth was raised through his meeting Okay Yeah so with that we will and on Salvation army or william boot Yeah, so during william boot during his lifetime the work of the Salvation army was now established in 58 countries and william boot also wrote extensively and composed several songs So his book uh in darkest england and the way out released in 1890 became a best seller So it became the guideline for salvation army's approach to social welfare Okay with that I leave with the court. I'm not waiting for a more of god. I am a more of god There are several other courts Of william, but these are the views that I chose if there's anything of power in the salvation army today It is because god has had all the adoration of my heart all the power of my will And all the influence of my life So with that we will move on to Amy Carmichael who was a missionary in india Are we able to see that? Yes so Amy Carmichael she We see that she lived during the time of 1867 to 1951 and she was born in ireland So in 1892 amy's began by volunteering with china in lin mission But was refused due to the health reasons Later she spent about two years in japan and Sri Lanka, which is known as selon during that time So in november 1895 she came to south india Never to return to a homeland And and spent the next 55 years of her life serving in india So when we look at her dedication and we see the primary work That she established in india was by running an orphanage in donawar The orphanage rescued and cared for the young girls who had been temple girls and forced to become temple prostitutes So later the orphanage accepted boys as well because the need was so huge So she wrote many books about her work as a missionary in india when she When she was asked the what is missionary life like amy responded missionary life is simply a chance to die Where you get to die to yourself every day So the work she started continues even today and we get to know about it more through the Website that this orphanage has is donawar fellowship dot org dot in so for more information We can log into it and know about her ministry Well with that we will move on to the next person who's called as an angel of mercy dr. Ida S. Kada So dr. Ida Full name is Ida Sophia Skada and she was born in Rani paid Tamil Nadu India on December 9th 1870 her parents John and Sophia were American medical missionaries and they were second generation missionaries So as John's father also named John was also a doctor and a missionary in india So we see that Ida grew up in Tamil Nadu where she witnessed the beautiful celebration of life as well as Famine disease and poverty. So as a teenager, she was invited to attend Attend a private christian boarding school in massachusetts called northfield Where she earned a reputation of her pranks. So after graduation she planned to get married and settle down in us She was determined never to come Become a third generation missionary in india because she's seen how difficult it is How difficult it is to do the mission work in india because it was not developed It was not in the way it is today. So but god had other plans for her So in 1890 we see that her mother became ill So she had to travel back to india for a few months to help her dad Run this clinic and take care of her mother. So one night everything changed You see that in middle of the night A man came running to the home Begging for someone to care for his wife who was struggling in childbirth You see ida was a teenager with no medical training So she went to fetch her father But because of the culture tradition that separated men and women The man Refused to allow another man to treat her To treat his wife So his words were something to effect of it It would be better that she die than to be seen by another man than to be seen by a man So ida was Mortified that she could do nothing And threw herself in prayer and wrestling with god about her life and a call Well on the same night two other men came to her parents bungalow with the exact same request And departed with the same response Well the next morning she was horrified to learn that all three mothers And their babies had died So all because there was no female doctor available to them And this very situation Or In this moment she gave up all thoughts of a marriage and a comfortable life She gave up on a future Dream that she carried We see that later in a book she writes. I think that was the first time I saw god face to face And all the time it seemed that he was calling me into this work You see that first spawned her and then she did know your facts count the cost Money is not important thing. What you are building is not a medical school. It is a kingdom of god So don't err on the side of being too small What we see with ida here is She looked The call as god's assignment She never looked at her ability What she is able to achieve or what she is able to do But the assignment is of gods. We don't have to see how big Or how able are we when it is when the assignment is from god We need to trust that it is god's work and god will do it We need to be available just to execute it in and through us just see what we can do it But an alarm god to do what he can do. So here we see that ida scala You know Right now she is the founder of the christian medical college Which is known as cmc velour and it is associated with the other hospitals But a legal is far greater than the institution and its building What she has achieved is much greater so the work was not very easy But she has crossed many hurdles to achieve what she has done So one thing that we need to know is we need to rely on god for his assignment And this is how the cmc velour looks. This is a big Place it's much bigger than what we could see right now in the picture This is the hospital where this whole hospital itself is like a city in itself So the velour is known for this hospital cmc velour where we see People from all over the world or especially in india been drawn to this place We see the doctors from all over the world come here to practice and we hear that All the doctors the nurses and the staff who serve they carry the spirit of missionary carry the servant heart How did that happen the seed that got planted through aida scudder is still Been growing through many other leaders in that place We see that this place which god is erupted in india at cmc velour is being a blessing To many other people in india The very thing that she noticed where she saw because of the laws of her Uh, uh, um, you know, uh, a women doctor or a women Medical professional in that area in that place Three mothers and the three babies were lost And this stirred our heart And this very cry the genuine cry from our heart God heard and birthed a ministry there You see this building is still standing strong. This work is still continuing continuing. So what god does He takes over He makes sure that it runs in the way that it was planted the mission work in this place is still continuing But that we will move on to the next person John g lake So john g lake is also known as the jesus healer Or a man of healing So they say that if there was a man ever a man who walked in the revelation of god as man It was john g lake A man of purpose a man of vision a man of strength and a man of character We see that in um in one goal In life was to bring the fullness of god to every person So he often said that the secret of heaven's power was not in doing but in being He believed that spirit filled christians should enjoy the same type of ministry that jesus did while he was living on earth And that this reality could only be accomplished by seeing themself as god saw them So here we see that john g lake lived his life and fulfilled his ministry In the earth with a type of spiritual understanding So if we could just grasp the reality of our position through jesus christ as lake did Every nation would drink with the praises of god And he was responsible for raising one lakh converts Sorry, it is 10 lakh converts six 25 churches and 1250 preachers in in his five years of ministry. It is definitely the lord's doing Because of his resurrection revelation He had a deadly plague germ and he died in the hand at the at the start of his ministry Though one could only be healed in dr. Doe's healing home So we see that Is in his ministry We see that many were healed To look at his keeping this as a background. Let's look at his early age He was born on march 18th 1870 in ontario canada where he was From a very small family which moved to michigan in the united states While he was still young you see that lake attended a salvation army meeting And he became convicted with his need for a savior And he invited jesus to become lord of his life and we see that lake was incredibly impacted by Hellness So he was one of the 16th child and over the course of his young life Eight of them died He grew to hate the sickness grief and death that was so much part of his family So lake felt a call to the ministry and studied to become a methodist minister So he took the heart the methodist teaching on santification and he followed it very passionately When the studies were done However, he made a decision to go into a business and start a newspaper in illinois And then he moved back to michigan and began Carrier in real estate and that's where he met jenny stefan and So the sickness Still continued to haunt lake We see that his brother was invalid and one sister had extensive cancer Another sister had bleeding problem and his wife had tuberculosis and heart disease you see The situation that he is in Well in 1899 the family had heard about john alexander doey In chicago because he was receiving substantial media attention Back then and then he took lake's brother to the healing room in chicago And he was instantly healed Then both sisters then went as well and they were also healed Now finally lake Had contacted people to pray for his wife in june 18 99 And here comes Even she was healed He started to open the scriptures to see in acts 10 38 acts chapter 10 verse 38 which says You know Jesus of nazareth How god anointed him with the holy spirit and with power And how he went about doing good and healing all over oppressed by the devil for god was with him And he saw outlined clearly for himself that jesus is the healer and satan is the oppressor of man So lake became a So with this lake came to a decision like he witnessed himself Of this healing where his brother sister and his wife has been healed And he came to the knowledge of christ and saying that jesus like how god anointed jesus of nazareth If god can anoint jesus with the holy spirit and with power For which he went about doing good and healing who were oppressed by the devil the same god can do it in and through me So immediately he joined doe east christian catholic church and he branched You know, he started serving and ministering there and we see that he Gradually lake grew to become a deacon in this new church so in 18 9 in august 1900 Lake's wife jenny was accidentally shot by a four-year-old son Following doe is teaching lake refused medical help and depended on prayer The event was so startling An article was written up in the chicago daily tribune which regularly reported on doe's activities Well in 1904 lake moved to chicago to work with doe sing the power of god So the lake began to cry out for more of the holy spirit We see that there's an urge and thirst and passion Growing within him for more of holy spirit because he knew that Only through the holy spirit that he could move with the power of god And he spent nine months seeking a fuller level of the presence of god And then lake went with another man to pray for a sick woman We see the god's presence fell on her and over like him and he never know before The next six months we see that he never marked by conviction repentance or heart Heart cleansing the gifts of the spirit began to manifest in his ministry and he went about healing people At one point doe listed his accomplishment and told him if you were ever developed constructive qualities equal to your critical capacity You will be a greater man than i am So we see that uh john g lake knew that he would have to start his own work He felt that he was called to africa And he went there in 1808. There was a short term pastoral instinct in indianapolis over a five-year period in south africa lake saw About 10 lakh converts planted hundreds of churches and raised over thousand local ministers The work was so strained is however, uh, and his wife died in 90 north december 1908 and he committed to keep his family together So in 1913 we see that lake returned to the states with his Seven children. So once he returned to states, he married and began traveling on ministry work again And one of the place he was asked to speak was in washington And he was asked to start the healing room for which he agreed and over an approximately five-year period um, he has healed about Uh, one lakh people were reported that they were healed in this ministry And although lake's church was never large or but thousands came from all over the country and the world to receive prayer So in 1920 he felt uh god God is called to move to portland oregon and start the healing room ministry there similarly the healing Followed in his ministry. We see that lake considered to start a healing room ministry in towns In different places and god moved powerfully in his ministry and we see that Healing was he was known for the healing ministry wherever he ministered in the place So uh in on september 15 1935 he died Yeah, with that we end on john g lake And some of the codes of john Was when I saw for the first time by the word of god that sickness was not the will of god Everything in my nature rose up to defeat the will of devil Yeah So we that we end this class today and in the next class we can start up for the 20th and 21st centuries revivals and its moment what happened at them So, uh open up to the class if there's anything that you would like to share It would be good to unmute and share Was there anything that impacted your life? How the lord ministered to the people whom we looked into them today on john g lake or hider scudder With me car michael limboot Yell moody Okay, let's pray God is the same god who touched those leaders raised them the same god can minister to you and me As we are in this class as we are looking into each one's life They they are the common people normal people just like you and me Who attended one of the other ministries and they heard about god the spirit of the lord Started working in and through them the fire That was uh sown into them the sea that was sown into them Started burning to do something for god or some incidents just like how ider scudder went through Triggered to uh to branch out a ministry that is still ongoing We see how god could stir our heart even through the situation that we are in no matter where we are friends We are not there by mistake God has allowed that situation god has put us there in middle of that situation For us to birth something new into him the purpose the call of god to be birthed in and through us So every situation let's look at to god saying god That is a reason that you're allowed that i am here in this place the situation father I pray that you reveal it to me. Let this become our prayer. Let this become our prayer Let's seek god this time and ask god god you speak to me you minister to me Friends, let's make this class very different. We have another five minutes. Let's seek god in prayer If god is ministering to you or through you to someone in our class Allow the lot to flow speak to you as god speak to me. Give me a word. Give me a purpose show me the things make it clear Let me speak. Let me release the word of wisdom to somebody else in the class Let's speak and release it to each other Plus, can we just pray together and ask god to speak and move in and through us Let's pray.

You can just unmute and share it among your friends in the class It may be that god is speaking to each other through you May be a word of blessing word of comfort word of confirmation Word to stare each one word to build each one You can just unmute and release that word release that remover because the word has the power to break To repair and to build I see some of us praying and asking god god give me your wisdom Give me a wisdom to do what you have called me to do And here I see that jesus is that wisdom Jesus Has become the wisdom of god to you and me.
