In 1906, Oswald Jeffrey Smith, the eldest of ten children, was born again while attending a meeting of the R. A. Torrey/Charles Alexander evangelistic campaign in Toronto, Canada. Smith went on to become one of the leading Fundamentalist preachers of North America, founder and pastor of the People's Tabernacle (later People's Church) of Toronto, a global evangelist, and an important recruiter and supporter of overseas missionaries.
