New England Revival
This took place in New England in the 1740s, at the time of the 'Great Awakening' in America, a huge revival.
Gilbert Tennent started a Christian service by visiting a young, disabled man, this service started with only a few people- but in a month several hundred people joined and it had to be moved to a different venue!
What a story to show how all believers are precious in God's sight and from this young man, many heard the Gospel and many believed!

'The Great Awakening' by Joseph Tracy
I love stories of God providing growth- the church my wife and I attend started as a family and a couple of others- then my wife and I joined, then many new people have joined and it has grown- with Christian brothers and sisters from all over- Brazil, Nigeria and Guyana to name a few!
It reminds us God is always working and we will see many growths to come!
