Jonathan Goforth Revivalist Apostle To China

Jonathan Goforth was born, the seventh of eleven children, in February 1859 near London, Ontario, in Canada. His parents were hard-working farmers and, if the young Jonathan learned about the things of God through his devout mother, he also learned hard work from his father, who once went to Hamilton for food and walked all the way back through the bush – a distance of 70 miles – with a sack of flour on his back!

Billy Nicholson The Irish Whitefield

William Patteson Nicholson (1876-1959) was a Presbyterian preacher and evangelist born in Bangor, Co Down. Nicknamed ‘The Tornado of the Pulpit’, Nicholson spent his early years on his father’s cargo ship, but began to preach in 1899 at the age of 23. He was known for his ‘men-only’ meetings and straightforward language. In the Belfast shipyard of Harland & Wolff, a ‘Nicholson shed’ was erected to house stolen tools that newly converted workers returned as a result of Nicholson’s preaching!

I Have A Dream

On 28 August 1963, American civil rights leader Rev Martin Luther King Jr delivered a speech that has gone down in history. Given during the ‘March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom’ protest, it called for an end to racism in the United States and for civil and economic rights. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, the speech was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement, summed up by King’s iconic phrase, “I have a dream.”

Tongues Of Fire At 'Stone's Folly'

Often described as the century of the Holy Spirit, the 20th century saw great Pentecostal revivals sweep the globe drawing more people into the kingdom of God than had been converted in all the previous centuries added together.  And this revival movement began almost exactly at the turn of the century when earnest men and women were learning that the powerful baptism in the Holy  Spirit had not passed away with the Apostles but is for today!
