Who was this man? A sterling philanthropist and educator, D. L. Moody was also the finest evangelist in the nineteenth century - bringing the transformative message of the gospel before 100 million people on both sides of the Atlantic in an age long before radio and television.

He started a mission in the slums of Chicago, in an abandoned saloon, which in time drew children in the hundreds and prompted a visit from President-elect Abraham Lincoln in 1860.
