Dwight L. Moody came to Chicago selling shoes, dreaming of making a fortune of $100,000. But after he came to faith, it slowly dawned on him that his life should be spent helping people instead of piling up wealth. In 1858 he started a mission Sunday school in a Chicago slum. He drew poor immigrant children with candy and pony rides, and reached their parents through prayer meetings and English classes. By 1861 he had left business behind to focus on the work. Moody was convinced, “If you can really make a man believe you love him, you have won him.” People rarely care how much you know until they see how much you care.
