Ezra Temple a roving preacher who lived by faith
Ezra Temple, a long time Baptist itinerant evangelist, was born on a farm in Amesville in May and died after a life spent preaching across the United States. He led church revivals in southern Iowa, founded new congregations, and traveled from town to town by hitchhiking, singing hymns and distributing tracts. He avoided endowments, choosing to rely on faith for sustenance and sharing his gospel on street corners and in courthouses.
