Together, they had three children; Laura D., Louis H. and Orrin W. William Evans began his career as a journalist in New York. He heard D.L. Moody preach in New York City on Luke 5. Moody challenged young people to give themselves to Christian service, and suddenly looked down at William Evans and pointedly said, “Young man, I mean you.” Afterwards Moody found Evans and told him that somehow God had told him that He was calling Evans to service. Evans mentioned that he had a good job, but Moody told him to pack up his trunk and go to Chicago, not worrying about the money. William Evans became the first graduate of Moody Bible Institute in 1892 and moved to Chicago in 1900. By 1910, William was working as a Congregational minister.
