One night, in an old abandoned schoolhouse/church buiding, where the sister was conducting a revival attended by a handful of dirt poor farm families, the door opened and in walked a neighborhood trouble maker. He reeked of the stench of alcohol. But the lady evangelist continued preaching and, the altar call was given. Down the aisle walked that dirty roughneck, and kneeling at an altar of repentance, the young man wept his way to salvation and deliverance. Later, that young man, who had never before that night attended church, became an international evangelist. He became a renown tent evangelist, was seen and heard on radio and TV and opened a Bible School that’s trained thousands for the work of the ministry. He authored books and published a monthly magazine that helped this writer, and others, to come to know the Lord. That young man became world renowned. But that lady evangelist that lead him to the Lord has all but been forgotten. She is “an unsung hero of Pentecost”.

Do you labor diligently for the Lord without seeking praise or honor? Do you labor on the mission field or in your local church faithfully with little or no recognition? Do you pray that somehow you will reach someone with the Gospel who will go forth and “be strong, and do exploits” for God Kingdom? Dan 11:32. Then take heart… you, too are a “hero or heroine of Pentecost!

OK, just out of curiosity
who was the evangelist?
and who was the man who got saved?
