The Revivalists

Built an army out of the people no church wanted, with soup, soap, and salvation.

A shoe salesman with no ordination and no education who shook two continents with plain speech about Christ.

Pastored across South Africa and wrote about staying close to Christ in words a child can follow.

A plumber who could barely read, whose wife taught him the Bible and whose prayers for the sick filled halls across the world.

A Welsh miner who learned intercession as a vocation and led a college that prayed through a world war.

Slept on the floor of his study to pray, and wrote The Pursuit of God in one night on a train.

Asked why revival tarries and would not let a single preacher near him answer the question easily.

Wrote alone in near-total obscurity about the sovereignty of God, and was read everywhere only after he died.

Preached in person to more people than anyone in history and never once handled the offering himself.

A Cambridge philosopher who met God in an army barracks and spent fifty years teaching the Word and deliverance.

Bedridden as a boy with a deformed heart, he stood up believing Mark 11:24 and taught faith for the next seventy years.

A farmer who taught believers to speak God's own words back to Him over their circumstances.

Preached to African crowds of more than a million under a tent he had built for exactly that purpose.

Taught that intercession can be joyful instead of grim, and prayed that way until cancer took her.

A South African musician who prophesied from the keyboard in front of live crowds.
