This week I released a new video on the work of the Methodist Evangelist Rev. James Caughey, and two of his visits to the Canadian colonies. These visits each resulted in substantial numbers of converts, and especially those of his second trip have been called “great revivals”.
If you do not want to watch the full video yet, here are a few excerpts released as 1 minute shorts:
Here is the show description:

Methodist evangelist Rev. James Caughey saw 20,000 souls saved in just 6 years under his revival preaching in Britain. Before and after, he made stops in Canada, preaching hundreds of sermons and seeing thousands of Canadians turn to the Lord Jesus in saving faith. He attributed every success to the prevenient grace of the Holy Spirit.
