Tim Tebow - One Man

What Can One Man Do?

During his college football career, Tim Tebow frequently wore references to biblical verses on his eye black. In the 2009 BCS Championship Game, he wore John 3:16 on his eye black; the verse was the highest-ranked Google search term over the next 24 hours, generating over 90 million searches. One man in a 24hr period witnessed to 90 million people.

We don't all have the ability to reach so many but as I have heard my brother@johnkennedyvaughan say many times before, "If I can reach just 1 person it will be worth it. Maybe you will never have the chance to reach 1000's of people.

Lost But Found

Edward Kimball did not have that chance either. But he did change the heart of 1 young man. The young man did not attend school beyond the fifth grade; he couldn't spell, and his grammar was awful. His manners were often brash and crude, and he never became an ordained minister. Kimball said of the young man "I can truly say, and in saying it I magnify the infinite grace of God as bestowed upon him, that I have seen few persons whose minds were spiritually darker than was his when I met him." However that did not stop Mr. Kimball from witnessing to this young man.

It Is Never Too Late

The young man would go on to become one of the most influential preachers of the 19th century. Among his many achievements on either side of the Atlantic was the founding of Moody Bible Institute. D.L. Moody changed the lives of millions and still does today because of one ordinary man.

God will use you if you allow him to! I can tell you right now, NOTHING feels better than being used by God to reach others!
