In moments we were all changed

The very presence of people of faith has enormous impact on those who cross their paths. One of the women I wish I’d met was Dr. Henrietta Mears, who served on the staff of a California church in the 1940s, but whose ministry covered the world and whose influence touched countless lives over the years. In his book on revival, Bill Bright talked about a life-changing evening in 1947. He said:
And Bill Bright? He went on to establish Campus Crusade for Christ, now known as Cru, which became one of the greatest evangelistic forces of the twentieth century, one that still continues in 191 countries. Henrietta Mears didn’t cause that moment of revival in her cabin; the Holy Spirit did. As I’ve read her biographies, however, I’ve noticed that moments like that seemed to happen when she was around. Oh, how we want our own lives to radiate revival and to encourage others to wait upon the Lord, to mount up with wings like eagles, and to overcome the lower climates of fear, worry, anxiety, discouragement, and defeat.
