The Prayer Revival

Panic of 1857 (economic turnmoil)
Jeremiah Lanphier began prayer meeting every day at noon
Started small in New York City, eventually grew to thousands
Countrywide revival seen in church records from 1858

Era of Mass Evangelism

YMCA and D.L. Moody
Estimated 300,000 soldiers converted during Civil War, from both North and South
Large, city-wide revivals across America
1890s: prayer for new revival for 1900; Moody/Northfield conference, Keswick Convention
1901: Second Boer War; POW camp conversion and revival
1904: Welsh Revival; 100,000 conversions in one year
1907: Korean Pentecost
1908: Manchurian Awakening

To have a comparable revival by today’s standards, God would have to convert a billion people: which He is able to do!
