Answer to Prayer

In 1932, D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones was on an extended visit to the United States. He was engaged to speak at the Chautauqua Conference Center. He had not planned on going there, but, at the last minute, one of the speakers got sick. Lloyd-Jones was hurriedly put in his place. This was a week long engagement, starting on Monday and ending on Friday. Over the years the conference had become secularized, but there were a few Christians who continued to pray for better things to come for it. On Monday, July 11 some thirty people came to hear him (although there were thousands at the conference). By Friday, Lloyd-Jones' final service, was moved to the concert hall which held 6,000 people and the place was packed.
