The Great Commission, Go and Tell the Good News to Someone
Jesus Christ, the Son of God was the greatest missionary because He left His familiar surroundings of Heaven and came to earth. He identified with the people He lived with and moved amongst and came to seek and to save the lost.

J. Hudson Taylor – Economize to Evangelize
In China, J. Hudson Taylor was a medical missionary and a pioneer. He lived to serve God and the Chinese and came down to their level to identify with their needs. This self-sacrifice of living in Chinese dwellings, eating Chinese food, wearing Chinese clothes as well as having a Chinese-style haircut and pigtail was outrageous for many European missionaries from different organisations who scoffed at the naïve lad in his early twenties.

Korea – North and South, Revivals & War – Last 125 Years
The first Korean religious revival, the Wonsan Revival Movement (1903-1906), peaked in 1906 with 30,000 new converts in that single year.

Rees Howells had led the staff and students of the Bible College of Wales in prayer for China on many occasions. In 1936, he sold land and gave it to evangelise one thousand villages in China. Meanwhile, after World War II (1939-1945), whilst the West was occupied with threats from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), a small group of revolutionaries swept themselves into power in China, as Satan sought to capture the souls of one-fifth of humanity!

Korean Revival & Evangelistic Campaigns 1950-80s
I saw revival in Korea. I saw more than 25,000 persons profess to accept Christ as Saviour within six weeks. I saw more than four thousand persons daily at 5am prayer meetings. I saw hundreds continue all night in prayer for days on end.

Genuine Heaven-Sent Revival Versus the Counterfeit
Revival is a visitation of the Holy Spirit, a quickening, a bringing to life. It is God rending the Heavens and coming down, the hills melting like wax before His presence.
