Men Who Saw Revival

Home
By Pastor Rick & Becky Martin

                                                    
    As a student of Hyles-Anderson College, I had the privilege to attend a class called "Great Preachers and their Preaching." I have always felt a dept of gratitude to Dr Jim Vineyard, the teacher of that class.
    During that time I began to study the lives of great men of God. Although many have seen revival, I've chosen 11 men to write about and how they saw revival, Ten of this men have gone to be with the Lord. The 11th, Dr. Jack Hyles, is still living. Dr. Jack Hyles is my pastor and I am a bit prejudiced, but history  (if the Lord tarries) will show that his place is among the men that God has used the most.
    Enclosed with this study are a few other thoughts and quotes relating to revival. These short stories include the lives of the following:

    George Whitefield  ---- 1714 - 1770
    William Carey      ----    1761 - 1834
    Adoniram Judson    ---- 1788 - 1850
    Charles Finney     ----    1791 - 1875
    D.L. Moody         ----     1837 - 1899
    Hudson Taylor      ----    1832 - 1905
    John Hyde          ----      1865 - 1911
    C.T. Studd         ----       1860 - 1931
    Billy Sunday       ----      1862 - 1935
    J. Frank Norris    ----     1877 - 1952
    Jack Hyles         ----       1926 - present
  
Let us pray that God will rise up some men who will see His power upon our lives as the men listed.

How To Have Revival

  I can give a Prescription that will bring revival to any church or community or any city on earth.
  First,let a few Christians (they need not many) get thoroughly right with God themselves. This is the prime essential!
If this is not done, the rest I am to say will come to nothing.
  Second let them bind themselves in a prayer group to pray for revival until God opens the heavens and comes down.
  Third, let them put themselves at the disposal of God for Him to use as He sees fit in winning others to Christ.
  That is all.
