Description:FORTY years have not dimmed my memories of the man who became the role model for my own evangelistic ministry. For one thing my mother-in-law would not let me forget Allen Walker. She spoke often of that bold, self-educated, southern evangelist who had introduced her to Christ and His message in a tent revival soon after she was married.Later as an aspiring young evangelist in Florida, I heard other ministers speak almost reverently about the spiritual exploits of Allen Walker. His fantastic knowledge of the Scriptures, a fearless nature, and unassailable logic made him almost a legend through the southland where he conducted protracted evangelistic “efforts.”By my second public crusade in 1950 he was retired, yet he still had a daily radio program operating in Dothan, Alabama, just a few miles from Tallahassee, Florida, where I was pastoring. I made it a point to visit with him at every possible opportunity, plying him with questions about soul-winning. He welcomed my visits and patiently endured my enthusiastic interrogations.
