Moody (1837-1899) lacked the attributes associated with success in nineteenth-century America. He was born in the rural backwoods of New England, the sixth among nine children. The Moody family lived a single step ahead of their creditors. Tragedy struck the family when Dwight was four years old. His father returned home from his construction job in pain and fell to the floor dead. The creditors moved in quickly, taking everything that could be moved, leaving the Moody family with only the roof over their heads. Only the grit and determination of Moody's mother, coupled with her faith in God, kept the family together. Survival mattered more than education.<A HREF="id668.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Dwight L.

On October 31, 1904, 26-year-old Evan Roberts returned home from a ministry training program. The former miner had just quit Bible school at the urging of the Spirit. That evening he and 16 young people gathered at the village chapel. From this small nucleus, a revival sprang which swept through the hills and valleys of Wales. During the next nine months Evan Roberts led a whirlwind revival campaign through the coal-mining valleys of South Wales and the slate quarries of North Wales. Thousands were swept into God's kingdom. Welsh society was profoundly affected. According to Watchman Nee, this was the "greatest known revival in church history" (Collected Works, 43:698). At the height of the revival the news media reported Roberts' every move. Thousands attended his meetings. Suddenly, Evan Roberts vanished from the public's gaze. He reappeared 20 years later. What became of him? What did the Lord recover through him?<FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Times New Roman" > </FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#BF0000" FACE="Geneva" ><A HREF="id667.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Evan Roberts"><U><U>Find out More</U></U></A></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" > </FONT></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="#the_list_of_saints_below_is_by_no_means" TITLE="Feature Biographies"><U><B>Back to Top</B></U></A></div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <div>  <A NAME="t_austin_sparks____1888_1972_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>T Austin Sparks<FONT SIZE="5" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" ><B>  </B></FONT><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" ><B> (1888-1972)</B></FONT></div> <div> "Mr Sparks", as he was affectionately known, was born in London, England in 1888. He came to know Christ as a teenager and later became a Baptist pastor. However, his "ecclesiastical" career took a decidedly different direction when a physical crisis brought him to a place of brokenness. At the same time God also delivered him from his previous prejudice against anything that was related to the "deeper life". As a result, he joined Jessie Penn-Lewis in the ministry of the spiritual growth of believers; a ministry to which he devoted his life and which also cost him his reputation and his career in the denominational circles of England.  He was based in southeast London at Honor Oak Christian Fellowship which is where Watchman Nee met and fellowshipped with him during a visit to England in 1933. Nee's refusal to disavow Austin-Sparks later became the grounds for him being disfellowshipped by the Taylor Brethren.<I><B> It has been said that Watchman Nee considered T. Austin-Sparks as his spiritual mentor, and their fellowship appears to have been rich and fruitful. </B></I></div> <div> <A HREF="id574.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="T AustinSparks"><U>Find out more</U></A></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://www.austin-sparks.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.austin-sparks.net"><U><B><U>http://www.austin-sparks.net</U></B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >See Also</FONT>: <A HREF="id573.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="T AustinSparks (18881972)"><U> QUOTES FROM CHURCH HISTORY</U></A></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="#the_list_of_saints_below_is_by_no_means" TITLE="Feature Biographies"><U><B>Back to Top</B></U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="watchman_nee____1902_1972_"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A>Watchman Nee<B>  </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Geneva" ><B> (1902-1972)</B></FONT></div> <div> Watchman Nee became a Christian in mainland China in 1920 at the age of seventeen and began writing in the same year. Throughout the nearly thirty years of his ministry, Watchman Nee was clearly manifested as a unique gift from the Lord to His Body for His move in this age. In 1952 he was imprisoned for his faith; he remained in prison until his death in 1972. His words remain an abundant source of spiritual revelation and supply to Christians throughout the world.</div> <div> <A HREF="http://www.watchmannee.net" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.watchmannee.net"><U><B>http://www.watchmannee.net</B></U></A></div> <bR> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" >See Also:</FONT> <A HREF="id119.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="Watchman Nee (19021972)"><U> QUOTES FROM CHURCH HISTORY</U></A></div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <A HREF="#the_list_of_saints_below_is_by_no_means" TITLE="Feature Biographies"><U><B>Back to Top</B></U></A></div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
