LEON SULLIVAN ?
Philadelphia Broker Made
Transaction With Lord
Leon Sullivan, a Philadelphia
broker who initiated the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation,
will serve as Thursday night's
(June 23) speaker in the inter
denominational evangelistic series.
Despite the fact that he is one
of the most respected investment
bankers in the East today, Mr.
Sullivan testifies that his true
desire is "not to be rich, not to
be a great laypreacher, but to be
just a plain businessman who re
veals a love for" Jesus."
Mr. Sullivan is held in high
regard by hundreds of Christian
businessmen about the nation be
cause of his consecrated service
to the work of Christ.
During the "financial crash" of
1933, Leon Sullivan was a young
broker in Philadelphia. He sub
mitted to the federal government
a plan to insure bank deposits
up to $5,000 and this plan resulted
in the F.D.I.C., a project that has
proven to be a great financial ,
boon to America. I
Mr. Sullivan was educated at
the University of Pennsylvania,
much of this ed^ation in night
! school so he could hold a Job as
a bank clerk during the day. He
studied finance there and later
attended the American Institute of
Banking.
His career for the next 14 years
spitaled upward. At 25. he became
the youngest bank cashier in
America.
"But my spiritual life was de
scending as fast as my financial
success was ascending," Mr. Sulli
van sadly confesess.
"When I was 32, I made a trans
action with the Lord; I would no
longer live for wordly honor, suc
cess, and pleasure, but as a new
creature 'all out' for him; I would
be God's businessman."
People who knew Leon Sullivan
"back when" testify to his miracu
lous change.
Today he has his own firm,
established in 1958, located in one
of the newest building in Philadel
phia. But. Mr. Sullivan no longer
takes credit for his own success.
In his office is a verse from I
Samuel: "Them that honor me I
will honor."
