you sort of hit a little bit so I I just want you to feel at home near Lynchburg today now we're grateful to God for the privilege of having the man who's speaking in our pulpit here with us at the age of 16 two boys named Billy Graham and Grady Wilson proceeded in an evangelistic campaign a crusade Charlotte North Carolina I won't tell how many years ago that was that would be meddling but together they walk down the aisle during invitation time and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior years have passed they finished Wheaton College together for these many years they have participated together as team members in an evangelistic team that has preached to and reached more people than any group or any team and the existence of time these folks Minister the Word of God to multiplied millions I was seated some all several months ago listening to a crusade message on our television set that came out of another country while I was watching millions of others around the world we're doing likewise this is miraculous indeed and for that reason we consider it a great honor and privilege to have Grady Wilson as our speaker this morning boys and girls we're happy to have you here but we don't want you walking around or leaving your seat for any reason other than emergency mother's with little babies the ushers in the back you have difficulties will direct you to the nurseries or you can leave your children and come right back and enjoy the service we want you to give your undivided attention to the messenger here today brother Grady Wilson Thank You pastor shall
