Dear Bro John.
I was so touched by the song “Here is Love, Vast as the Ocean” that you and Donna sent out on Signal that I was provoked to research the Welsh Revival of 1904 and the young man, Evan Roberts, who was led by the Spirit to preach his message. Oh my, what an outpouring of the Spirit in that country! Evan Roberts was just a young man of 26 years old, but as he said, he was awakened every night for 3 months in the middle of the night communing with the Lord for instructions to carry out the message of the Lord. I am weak just thinking of how that must have been for this young man. Reminds me of Preacher Clark and how the Lord dealt with him at his young age.
If you have time, it is well worth watching the below link for the story of this young man and the outpouring of the Spirit on thousands of lives in Wales. Yes, they use the word “saved” and “Christian” but what are words when Jesus is looking at hearts. This outpouring changed the hearts and lives of thousands. Soon afterwards, the Revival at Azusa Street happened in Los Angeles, CA.

Thank you for the song. I love it.

Yes, that is a good documentary. A few years ago, Jason and Token visited the site of that revival and had some interesting stories to tell about it.
God, pour out your Spirit on us and this lost generation!
