Welcome to Our Christian Heritage Foundation's Blog


The purpose of the OCHF blog is to introduce some of the holdings of our fine library to the public. From time to time a photo of one of our historic holdings will be posted along with the story of its significance. In learning about the history of these bibles, books and manuscripts, we learn and preserve the history of the Christian Church. We hope that you will enjoy this journey of learning and exploration. I am Dr. Byron Perrine, editor, and I bid you welcome to the OCHF blog site.

"M" is for Missions, Moody, and Money

    
     America has had many great evangelists, Christian educators, and missionaries.  The most successful of these, from John Eliot on, have been great organizers and fund-raisers as well as spirit-filled Christians.  Typical among them is D. L. Moody (1837-1899), one of America's great evangelistic preachers and Christian educators.  His great enterprises were funded through tireless and skilled solicitation of donations (or, "subscriptions", as referred to in his letter shown below).

     We would like to see Our Christian Heritage Foundation grow so that this wonderful organization might more effectively achieve success in its mission to restore Christian America.  The response of each reader and friend of Christ is the key to success.  You are the key to success.  Please consider making a donation to OCHF today.   We are, as D. L. Moody writes, awaiting your reply.  To donate, plase return to the OCHF home page www.OurChristianHeritageFoundation.org and click "Help Us Build the Permanent Display" at the upper right corner of the home page.  Thanking you in advance, Dr. Byron Perrine, Executive Director, OCHF.
