Mordecai Ham

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mordecai Ham (1877-1961) was an American evangelist and temperance movement supporter. He entered the ministry in 1901 and in 1936 began his long radio evangelistic career. He evangelized until shortly before his death in 1961.

Ham was the son of Tobias and Ollie (McElroy). He was born on a farm in Allen County, Kentucky near Scottsville, Kentucky. He could claim eight generations of Baptist preachers. He once stated that "From the time I was eight years old, I never thought of myself as anything but a Christian. At nine I had definite convictions that the Lord wanted me to preach...." Ham married Bessie Simmons in July of 1900. In December of that year he quit his business and began to preach.

One target of his sermons was the drinking of alcohol, which he disdained.

Billy Graham was converted to Christianity under Mordecai Ham's preaching, in a revival in Charlotte, North Carolina in November 1934.
