694 Accounts of Revival
Chet & Phyllis Swearingen
Missionaries & Revivalists
We have researched and written the accounts of revivals below in an abbreviated form. We believe our work is unique because it includes numerous pictures, maps, and many hyperlinks for those seeking additional information.
How the Stories are Being Used
► They are being translated into many different languages.
► Bible Colleges are using them to teach from, as well as using them for quick reference materials.
► Pastors are using them for sermon illustrations.
► Intercessors read them while praying for revival.
► Daily Devotions: Some read them devotionally.
May the Lord use these accounts to awaken a hunger in your heart for revival within yourself, your church, and your community!
