Intro: As I studied this text, I was reminded of the story of a woman named Martha Berry.
She was born just outside the town of Rome, GA in 1866.
She was born into a wealthy family that owned a vast estate in that area.
She asked for a playhouse and her father had a cabin built for her.
One Sunday as she was studying her Bible in the cabin, Martha Berry heard the voices of children outside.
She went out and saw some of the poor children from nearby Possum Trot playing.
Miss Berry was a teenager by this time and she called the children to her and began to tell them stories from the Bible.
Her Bible classes met each week in her playhouse.
She taught children that would never have had the opportunity to go to school.
She taught them how to read and write.
She taught them arithmetic and other lessons.
Then, in 1902, she had the idea to start a boy’s school on nearby Lavender Mountain.
She deeded land, raised funds and opened the doors to students, and The Berry Industrial School for Boys was formed.
The school continued to grow, adding a program for girls.
If you visit Rome, GA today, you can still visit the house Martha Berry lived in until she died.
You can also see the cabin playhouse where she taught poor children about the love of God.
If you visit Rome, GA you can also see what her little mustard seed school has become.
Today, Berry College sits on 28,000 beautiful acres of Georgia real estate.
There are 38 major buildings and well over 2,000 students.
Berry College is widely recognized as one of the outstanding comprehensive colleges in the southern United States.
A school that had very humble beginnings has been a blessing to tens of thousands of Americans.

Edward Kimble was a shoe salesman who worked alongside a guy named Dwight.
Edward shared the gospel with Dwight, and Dwight accepted Christ.
It was 1858, and Dwight's last name was Moody.
We know him as D. L. Moody, who was one of the greatest evangelists in history.
Years later when Moody was preaching, a pastor named Frederick D. Meyer was deeply stirred, and as a result, he went into his own nationwide preaching ministry.
On one occasion when Meyer was preaching, a college student named J.
Wilbur Chapman heard him and accepted Christ.
He went out and began to share the gospel, and he employed a young baseball player named Billy Sunday.
Billy Sunday ended up being the greatest evangelist of his generation.
When Billy Sunday preached the gospel in Charlotte, North Carolina, it was such a great meeting that he was invited back.
But when he couldn't be there, Sunday recommended a preacher named Mordecai Ham.
Ham went to Charlotte and preached, but not many people responded to his invitation to accept Christ.
But on one of the last nights, a tall, lanky boy who worked on the local dairy farm walked forward.
Everyone knew him as Billy Frank, and we know him today as Billy Graham.
So Edward Kimble reached D. L. Moody, who touched Frederick Meyer, who reached Wilbur Chapman, who helped Billy Sunday, who reached businessmen in Charlotte, who invited Mordecai Ham, who ultimately reached Billy Graham.
And it all began with the simple witness of Edward Kimble.
Every one of us can make a difference for the kingdom of God.
