Pray for the South today.

1876 - Mordecai Ham was Ordained to Preach the Gospel.

Mordecai Ham was a great southern preacher. He was a hard-hitting preacher. He once said that if the Devil died, most churches would not find out about it for a year. He conducted great city-wide meetings across the South and other sections of the country. He was an old-fashioned sin fighter. He was like the Pentecostal preacher who got mixed up while preaching. He intended to say God has called him to heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out devils. He got his "tongue all tangled up" and said, "God has called me to heal the dead, cast out the sick, and raise the devils." Mordecai Ham was this kind of preacher.

One of the most interesting things about Mordecai Ham is that it was under his ministry that Billy Graham was converted.
