PrayingHyde

    John Hyde was the son one of the most cultural and refinement who was added influence of relgion in its reality. He was born into a ministers home. His father accepted the pastorate of a Presbyterian Church in Carthage, Illinois where he went to school.  After graduation he became a teacher.  At a missionary meeting, John's soul was stirred. Later, he sought a fellow-student . At a missionary meeting, where the need of workers for foreign service was powerfully presented, John's soul was stirred. Later, he sought a fellow-student who had assisted in the program. John demanded of his friend, “Give me all the arguments you have for the foreign field.” “You need no arguments,” restored his friend. “What you want is to get down on your knees and stay there until the matter is settled one way or another.”  So Hyde did what he said.  Waiting for God, he was convinced that the plan for him could be fulfilled somwhere beyond the sea. His prayers were to the end that his classmates should see the field white to harvest where Christ wasnt. Out of 46 graduates 26 entered the foreign missionary effort.
   Later he went off to India. He later then said "In despair, I asked the Lord to fill me with the Holy Spirit, and the moment I did this the whole atmosphere was cleared up. I began to see myself and what a selfish ambition I had. It was a struggle almost to the end of the voyage, but I was determined long before the port was reached that, whatever the cost, I would be really filled with the Holy Spirit.”
   John Hyde was now where God wanted him. In simple faith, he looked to Christ for the deliverance from sin which his heart was craving. He said later, “He did deliver me, and I have not had a doubt of this since. I can now stand up without hesitation to testify that he has given me victory.”  John did many tramedous things.  One encouraging quotes that he said was: “Good” missionaries become known as “powerful” ones.

 With Gods help he led 800 lost souls to Christ  Just before he died John Hydes said “Shout the victory of Jesus Christ.”
