4th Worldwide Revival
Here are records of mid-nineteenth century revivals which began in prayer and shook the civilized world. This Awakening was the greatest to date in its extent, effects and lasting impact.
In September 1857 Jeremiah Lanphier, a businessman and convert of Finney's (a decade before), began a noon day prayer meeting on Wednesdays in a New York church. Within six months over 10,000 business men were meeting in similar meetings across America, confessing sins, being converted and praying for revival.This lay-led movement harvested a million souls in two years.
In Britain another million were won to Christ by 1865. Evangelistic, missionary and philanthropic enterprises blossomed on every hand. Moody and Sankey, William and Catherine Booth, Walter and Phoebe Palmer, C. H. Spurgeon and Hudson Taylor are representative of a vast army of revival preachers who enjoyed the blessings of authentic revival. These are their stories.
