The revivalist D.L. Moody was on vacation in England from his ministry in Chicago.
At one point during his sabbatical there, a local pastor prevailed upon Moody to speak at his parish church. So D.L. went to preach the next Sunday morning.
That afternoon, he recorded in his journal that it was the deadest crowd he had ever seen and the only thing worse than preaching to those people was that he had promised to speak again the same night.
But that night, midway through his sermon something happened.
The people started to come to life, and Moody felt compelled to ask if anyone would like to become a Christian.
Many people stood up. He was taken aback.
"Maybe you don't understand what I am asking. So when we are dismissed if you want to become a Christian come over to this little room and meet with me."
When the service was over, D.L went to the room and it was packed, and many became believers.
Now he was on vacation, and so the next day, Moody boarded a train for Ireland. But the Lord had other plans...
