Cloud of Witnesses: D. L. Moody
Dwight Lyman Moody (1837–1899) was an American evangelist, publisher, and educator. He was born in Northfield, Massachusetts, and was raised in a Congregationalist home. He converted to Christianity at the age of 17 and began preaching in the Boston area. In 1871, he founded the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois, which aimed to train Christians in biblical studies and evangelism.
Moody's evangelistic campaigns were known for their mass appeal and attracted large crowds throughout the United States and Great Britain. He was also a popular speaker and author, and his books and sermons continue to be widely read today. Moody died in 1899 but his legacy continues through the Moody Bible Institute and the many Christian leaders he influenced during his lifetime.
