Emphasis Preaching Journal

Earnest Presswood was born in 1908 and grew up on the prairies of Canada. This message of the resurrection and the empty tomb first took hold of Earnest in a Sunday school class when he was eleven years old. Some years later, Earnest attended a revival and as the preacher who was a traveling evangelist from England, proclaimed this message about Jesus, Earnest committed himself to serve the Lord and soon after, he moved to New York and enrolled in a training center for missionaries. In 1930, at the age of 22, he boarded a ship for the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia.
