There was a farmer in North Carolina, in the 1930's, who greatly influenced history.
He was a Christian and excited about a revival going on near him. The preacher, Mordecai Ham, was well-known and great crowds were attending and many were receiving Christ as their Savior.
The farmer decided to invite his neighbors to attend the meetings with him and he loaded them into his pickup!
A sixteen-year old boy joined the group. Every night he went to the revival and the farmer kept praying for his salvation.
Finally, the last night, the lad went forward and received Christ as his Savior.
That young man was Billy Graham!
Just think how the world has changed, for millions of people, by that farmer's obedience to proclaim God's message.
Today's challenge: we might not have a pickup, but we have a multitude of other ways to get out the joyous message of freedom in Christ. God loves us and invites us to co-partner with him to change people and so change the world. We don't have to be famous, or rich, or powerful. God can use us just as we are! With or without a pickup!
How can He use you today?
