Will or Can you be the unknown USHER???

 Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good.

The unknown usher, quite an interesting piece of history that I did not know until just a few days ago.

Mordecai Ham was an American Evangelist born in 1877.  He was credited with leading over 300,000 people to conversion to Christianity.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, 1934  Ham was holding a tent revival and 2 young  boys came by to see why all the people and the commotion was about.  When they looked inside the seats looked to be all taken and they decided to walk on.

Well, an usher, whom we do not know the name of, rushed over to the boys and told them to come back and he would find them a place to sit.  The usher asked people to move together and the boys were able to sit together and listen to Mordecai Ham preach.

During this process both boys went forward and accepted Jesus Christ as their personal savior.  The one boy we all know as Billy Graham, who was one of the greatest evangelists of the 20th century.

Grady Wilson also was an American evangelist. He was a childhood friend and close associate of Billy Graham.  He served as the inaugural vice president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.

Mordecai Ham was credited with bringing over 300,000 people to conversion and many estimated a million or more.  Billy Graham was credited with bringing the message to over 200 million people worldwide with many conversions. Grady Wilson left his pastoral position to join the original Billy Graham Evangelist Association team, working alongside Billy in the conversion of lives.

When you think of these men you think what an impact they had on the world. Ham did so much; Graham spreading the word to millions with Wilson by his side.  However, they were not the most impactful people.

The one who made the biggest impact was the silent, unknown usher at Mordecai's tent revival who brought 2 teenage boys in to hear the gospel and accept Jesus Christ as their savior.  

It was the silent unknown act that made the impact on the world.  Are you  OR can you be that silent unknown usher?  It only takes a spark to start a forest fire. May it be you.

Thanks for reading. Love y'all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
