Who are your recent heroes/heroines?

[chongshipei]

Who are your favourite recent heroes/heroines outside of the bible, particularly born in recent times and why?
I will begin again. Mine is Samuel Morris and DL Moody.
Samuel Morris is an African man who prays and even though he does not live long, he is a model for me in the area of childlike prayers.
DL Moody reaches the lost for God with a passion and he is not very educated.
I also like Billy Graham, Smith Wigglesworth, Catherine Booth.
Too often, we honor the saints of the bibles without recognizing that there are modern heroes/heroines in our midst too. Let's talk about them here!

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Oswald Chambers and Corrie Ten Boom.

I would have to choose Bryn and Keri Jones and Terry Virgo as i used to listen to them on cassette tapes back in the 80s and learned such a lot from them. Another is Jarred Cooper, a Christian author and song writer. And controversially Ravi Zacharias.
