Description

Dwight L Moody, a world renowned evangelist of the 18th century, took the message of Holiness throughout the world. Born in 1837, he grew up in a very poor family. His father died when Dwight was 4 years old. His mother tried to raise her nine children as well as she could, but eventally sent the older children to work for their room and board. When he was 17 years of age, he went to work for his Uncle at his shoe store in Boston. The one rule was, that he attend church, which he readily complied as he had been brought up in the Unitarian church.In 1862, Dwight married Emma C. Revell. which produced 1 daughter and 2 sons. In November of 1899, he became ill and died December 22, 1899, surrounded by his family. Ten years after Moody's death the Chicago Avenue Church was renamed the Moody Church in his honor, and the Chicago Bible Institute was likewise renamed the Moody Bible Institute.
