 Over the centuries, England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
have been touched by God in Revival. We’ll not only visit
some of these sites, but on several occasions will invite
local believers to join us in services led by our tour
leaders.
Also joining us from time to time will be men and women
of revival such as Brian Edwards, author of “Revival: A
People Saturated With God;” Vernon Higham, pastor of Heath
Evangelical Church in Cardiff, Wales; Colin and Mary Peckham
of the Hebrides Revival; Tom Shaw, Ulster Revival historian,
and others.
Names like George Mueller, John and Charles Wesley,
George Whitefield, John Knox, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, John
Bunyan, John Newton, Evan Roberts, Robert Murray McCheyne,
William Chalmers Burns, James Robe, John Livingstone will
come to life.
We’ll be participating in a Sunday morning service at the
Kirk O’Shotts, between Glasgow and Edinburgh, where in June,
1630, John Livingstone spoke from Ezekiel 36 and 500 were
converted, beginning a mighty moving of God that lasted for
years. In Cambuslang we’ll stand on ground made holy on
August 15, 1742, when 20,000 attended a communion service
and heard George Whitefield preach. Hundreds were converted.
We’ll gather in the graveyard of the Old Burns Parish Church
where, on September 22, 1839 William Chalmers Burns preached
from the grave of James Robe to over 12,000. Many hundreds
were converted. It was here that George Whitefield had also
preached to thousands.
Among the many highlights will be a visit to Moriah
Chapel in Loughor, Wales, the very place, where, on November
6, 1904, the Holy Spirit descended with great fire in a
service where Evan Roberts was preaching.
Places like Coleraine, Kells, and Ballymena, in County
Ulster, that are just places on the map, will also take on
new meaning as our leaders, along with Rev. Tom Shaw, pastor
and revival historian, take us back to those days when God
came in revival to Northern Ireland. And all along the way
we will be praying that God might do it again in these lands
that have forgotten, and have again turned their backs on
God. |
