The man that preached the Gospel while the Titanic Ship Sank

On the icy, tragic night of April 14, 1912, when the gigantic Titanic was plunging into the icy waters of the North Atlantic Ocean, unrest had gripped the hearts of all aboard.

Amidst the confusion, panic, and cold-blooded fear, one man's faith and courage lit up the fading lights of the ship—Pastor John Harper.

John Harper was a Scottish missionary, known for his fiery preaching and unwavering devotion to Christ. He was headed to Chicago, invited to preach at the historic Moody Church.

What was to be a mission trip was instantly turned into a tragic piece of history, but Harper's response would have his name branded on one of the greatest faith stories in the midst of death.

When the Titanic collided with the iceberg, Harper did not worry about himself. He was concerned about others instead. He first saved his six-year-old daughter, Nana.

He placed her in a lifeboat very carefully, thinking he would maybe never see her again. Yet, even then, he was composed, and he left her fate in God's hands.

With no thought of rescuing himself, Harper returned to the deck of the ship. Inciting growing panic, he bellowed with urgency, "Women, children, and the unsaved into the lifeboats!" Directing not only people to safety, his voice beckoned them to salvation as well. He saw the disaster not as terminus, but more as a final opportunity to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.
