The World in this Generation
Nov 1, 1988
In every student generation, God has raises up anointed men and women to be His evangelists to the student world. Here is the memoir of one such giant of the 20th century, who followed on the heels of D.L. Moody, to call students around the world to Christ. In this essay, YMCA evangelist, Sherwood Eddy (1871-1963), recalls some of the finest moments from his evangelistic trips to Russia, to the Middle East and to Eastern Europe.
