He was the sixth child in hisfamily and his education finished at fifth grade. At age 17, Moody left his home to look for a descent job. Since he coudn't find one, he asked his uncle for a job in the shoe store that he owned. Moodygave his life completely to the Lord at the age of 18 on April 21, 1855. His Sunday school teacher, Edward Kimball, led him to the Lord. After this great event, Moody devoted his life to serving God.In the year 1856 he moved to Chicago, where he started his own shoe business with much success. This success also brought a great interest of becoming a Sunday school teacher not only for Chicagochildren, but also for the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA). Moody had an extreme desire of reaching those "lost" youth of Chicago, those children who lived in poverty and experienced so muchlittle education as he had. The fast growing and expansion of these classes encouraged Moody to begin his own church. On Feb. 28, 1864, the Moody Church opened its doors to this world with Moody aspastor.
