This Sunday at First Baptist Church of Moreland, Evangelist Junior Hill is preaching both morning services. Junior is likely Southern Baptists' most well-known evangelist. He's been in full-time evangelism since 1967. In fact, my dad heard him preach at Vinesville Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama (the church dad was raised in) in the late 1960s. Before going into full-time evangelism, he was a pastor for 11 years in Alabama and Mississippi. He's also the former first vice-president of the Southern Baptist Convention.
Junior's from Hartselle, Alabama and has preached to millions of people - in thousands of churches. At 80 years old, his schedule is still full. I remember several years ago asking him to come to First Baptist Moreland for our Fall Revival, and he said he had a 3 year waiting list.
I remember during my Samford University days traveling to Southside Baptist Church in Alabaster, Alabama to hear Junior preach. I'll never forget the line to get saved during the invitation - it was actually so long it went out the back door. It's still the longest invitation I've ever experienced - we sang "Just As I Am" so many times, the music minister lost his voice and needed a sub.
Junior has a well-known sermon called, "The Valley of Baca" based on Psalm 84:6 - perhaps the best message for a discouraged friend. (listen to it here)
God gives evangelists to the church. We live in dark days and troubled times - but our Lord is still in the saving business - using evangelists for great harvests.
Will you join me in inviting people to church and join me in praying for God to move this Sunday? Hear Junior Hill at 8:30 & 11 a.m. Sunday May 17 at FBC Moreland, Georgia
