📚 *Daily One Missionary Biography*📚 ✅ *May 25*✅ 👍 *ENGLISH*👍 🛐 *Billy Sunday* 🛐 Birth: 19-11-1862 Home Calling: 06-11-1935 Native Place: Iowa Country : United States Place of Vision: United States Among the many baseball players who openly practiced Christianity, William Ashley Billy Sunday was a unique one. He exchanged his bat for a Bible and used his public speaking skills to save souls for Christ. Born in a poor family, Billy was a natural athlete. After spending some years in an orphanage and doing some odd jobs, he entered professional baseball in 1883. In 1886, he started attending the church service at the Pacific Garden Mission in Chicago during a baseball season. It was during this time that he accepted the Lord as his personal Savior. In 1891, Billy gave up baseball to become a YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) worker and initially started ministering among the sick and needy. His oratory skills didn’t go unnoticed, and he began receiving invitations to preach in many towns and cities. His meetings attracted huge crowds, and a revival broke out in America. Following the footsteps of D. L. Moody, he conducted revival meetings across major American cities. It is said that around 68,000 people committed to living for Christ in revival meetings held in New York City alone. His wife, Helen Amelia, was his pillar of support and was responsible for organizing the campaigns. Billy’s preaching style was very different from that of other American Evangelists. He preached the Gospel in plain language, and his sermons were always full of practical illustrations so that even the factory workers can understand. His sermons always called for practical application of Christian faith in societal problems. His preaching was instrumental in adopting the Eighteenth Amendment in 1919, which prohibited the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages in the US. When other preachers sought modern means of entertainment to attract people to churches, Billy Sunday solely depended on the power of the Word of God and remained a stalwart defender of conservative Christianity until the end. He went to be with the Lord after a brief illness in 1935. 🚸 *Beloved, have you realized your responsibility in the field of God?* 🚸 🛐 *“Lord, help me to realize my potential to serve you.
