Revival History Summit
Remembering God’s working in the past and inspiring vision for the future
Overview
Throughout history God has been faithful to bring revival to the hearts of His people. Remembering the way God has worked in the past inspires vision and desire to see God work similarly in our day. In light of this, we are planning a Revival History Summit in Big Sandy, Texas. John Van Gelderen will share impactful sessions chronicling the history of God’s working in the past. Dr. Van Gelderen has spent much of his life studying revival and will seek to give us an overview of revival history through the years, including powerful, specific stories of the Holy Spirit bringing a reviving to believers.
John Huffman will share engaging, historical first person interpretations of various men who were used of God as instruments of revival in the past, like John Hus and Jonathan Edwards. There will also be meaningful prayer times. More than just history lessons, it is our hope these presentations will stir your heart, build your faith, and motivate you to cry out to God asking Him to do it again in our day.
