 good morning everyone I want to first of all to appreciate everyone of you for praying for me when I was with the hospital I'm going to share with us this morning about John Jonathan Edward first of all I want to said who is Jonathan Edward. Jonathan Edward is an evangelist and he was born in October 5th, 1703 in this weather he is a man that was torn around the revival in his time I want to say during his school during his undergraduates in 19 in 1706 1716 to 1720 and he graduated studying in 1721 and in 1722 at Yanle College. Edward was engaged in contemporary issues in theology and philosophy. He studied the debate between the objects and quickly let me just go through what is during this revival in his time oh that's fantastic thank you so much I appreciate that and at Yanle Edward rates onwards a true thief on immatural philosophy and metaphysics simultaneously with an yet the stitch from the great English guidance. In light in 1726 he was a serious grandfather. The pastor of the church in multiple mosquitos. The religious and misinflation church outside of Boston. Tommy is attention from the theological pursuit of his of infallibility years to more practical matters. He got money to Sarah in 1727. Naxis your voice is breaking. Can you recheck your network please. Is it clear for everyone or it's only for me the voice is breaking everyone in the class able to hear success. Now we can hear you but before that voice was breaking and we could not you were you were not audible yes I think it's not okay please just give me two minutes let me understand my network is very high so you're good now actually we're able to hear you now okay I'm good now yes yes okay thank you so much on that I'm trying to get my distance okay as I was saying what are the folks to work I said that it became a pastor when he succeeded his grandfather Solomon's tattoos as the church pastor the first thing right in 1734 to 1735 it was over so some of the initials steering of the first a great working in great international fame as fame as a revivalist and geologians of the arts after publishing a fake to narrative of a surviving work of God that's happened in 1738 which is described at great a wiki in his church and serve as empire murder for American and British to revivalist alike in in 1740s this network is getting problem yes you can hear me right now the first and greatest old-time American philosopher eight words in his time we thought of his wife as when he was as young when he was young there are 10 things I notice about him that I want to capture that everyone know number one he came from a large family with a password that heritage that's when he was born in his adults secondly a broad genital in also conversation and work of satisfaction came through the struggle everything about a mission was a struggle for him certification was a struggle from a childhood was a struggle that can be seen in 1721 number three a pastor is first church when he was 18 years old as teenager at ease to tell you that God I don't even want to use it but five it's the largest channel in ministry was serving as a systems and then pastor of the church in his own time that can be seen August 29, 1726 in February 15th 1727 it was a game and on the levels 1729 stuff it died and able to become a pastor of the church must see he was a key player in the first great working and this working turn around the year you extend and England the church where he serve the long fire day and I asked why did they fire them with such and writing that upon June 22nd 9th 1750 it was voted out of his personal in the stand several is a sighted of his dismissal requested for an increase of salary me and Sarah had a little children he responded to the burning among the youths is somewhat on the back books and population of the innocent some young men are gay asset to the midwives manual that contains image of his female autonomy and use it to touch to teach the truth in the young women in time so about 20 230 men who voted only 23 stood in his favor so that is why he was voted out it's a missionary to the Indians and the president of press call before is dead that can be seen in my in 751 last week on that note before last month you wrote an atomic numbers of books on the velocity of subject defined there were five seventy three volumes reason why many of this volume contains Simon the literacy input a word produce that's a point in India now water is legacy is legacy of morning and delighting in the gravy of gold restorates in the church today it's a man of fire and he will serve and he will do well for any I want to talk lastly on the mission post this on time we went to the mission post of stock bridge on the western border at the sometime where he served from 1951 to 1957 he passed on a small English congregation was a missionary to the 150 family and wrote many of major work including those that address the one now I want to talk about his miracle what he did do during his time which salvation and the money they live in him I think that's all I can do right now because I do I don't find my flash yet but actually I will send the flash as soon as I get back to the office because it's compressing motion thank you thank you thank you Jonathan I'm sorry thank you you know for sharing on Jonathan Edwards and it was amazing yeah so yes when we look into Jonathan Edwards like we also see he was a very influential man and he was a man of highly intellectual character of one among the American American Americans and he was widely read in the British Isles so in in a general revolt against puritanism and Calvinism after the American Civil War so Edwards Prestige you know was declined and he was remembered mainly has a hell fire preacher and he was a he was an like just like a what Enoch said he preached his messages or the sermons was like fire man among the American minds yeah thank you Enoch for sharing on Jonathan and Edwards and have we left out anyone is there anyone yet to share the presentation Tracy are you ready with your presentation yeah yeah everyone can go ahead and share your views of feedback on the presentation of Enoch it was wonderful thanks Enoch for sharing Tracy is your presentation ready would you like to present okay okay maybe for some problem Tracy is not able to respond we will continue with a class today okay today we're going to study on another person okay David Livingston let me present to the presentation give me a minute the presentation is seen okay so today we're going to discuss our on David Livingston he was an explorer missionary and an anti-slavery campaign he became a great hero of the Victorian era for his epic discoveries in the heart of the unexplored Africa so he sent the last six years he spent the last six years of his life almost you know cut off from the outside world and he lived among the tribal the African people and he literally the way he connected with them or he developed a relationship with them he literally refused to leave Africa for any reason so if you look at his early life David Livingston was born on 21st March of 1813 in the mill town of Blantyre Lanarkshire Scotland his father was a committed Protestant Sunday school teacher who took a little interpretation of the Bible so we see that his father's religious influence played a key role in influencing the young David as he grew up where with an aspiration to become a missionary of himself so from a very early age we see that David was fascinated with geology science of the natural world so due to his father's influence he worried that science might conflict with religion but however after reading Thomas Dick's philosophy of a future state David was able to reconcile religion with science so due to his family's poverty we see that David had to work long hours in a local cotton mill from the age of 10 to 26 at a very young age we see that he started working to provide or to meet the needs of his family so despite the long hours he found himself to study after work so his work in the mill in Mureham with a classic Protestant work ethic so this experience left him with respect and empathy for workers and worker slaves so in 1836 we entered Anderson's College in Glasgow to train as a medical missionary so due to the outbreak of war in China it was suggested that David traveled to Africa to work as a missionary there so this is how he moved to Africa so David Livingstone enthusiastically traveled to Africa we strengthened his ideals of becoming a Christian missionary searching for a greater scientific discovery improved commerce and the abolition of slavery so one of his quote he says that I cannot love of Christ can't the love of Christ carry the missionary where the slave trade carries the trader so I shall open up a path to the interior or perish so what happened however in Africa he realized the difficulty of making converts to Christianity so during the 1840s he gained only one real convert of Christianity just imagine out of all his hard work there's only one person that he could transform or he can make him to receive Christ but then what happened later we see that he also narrowly survived death after being mauled by a lion in 45 in 1845 he married Dr. Robert Muffins eldest daughter Mary although Mary had lived in Africa since she was four she did not share a hundred I mean husband's interest in exploration although they had six children David spent little time with this family especially towards the end of his life so his wife Mary came to suffer from alcoholism and David admitted that one regret he had was that he didn't spend more time with his family so these are small things that we can learn from different missionaries like yes as we serve the Lord and or as we serve in the mission field we need to pay equal attention to our family as well you know because our family should not suffer and yeah we need to pray and uphold them so that they will also share the same love or same a zeal towards mission and see to it that you know as a family we serve alongside you know in the mission field serve God in the mission well after this initial period David Livingston increasingly turned his attention to the exploration of the African continent which was largely unexplored by the West ends so we see that David Livingstone renamed the waterfall the waterfall that was there as a Victorian falls in honor of Queen Victoria so in 1854 to 56 he made the first successful transcontinental journey across Africa from Launder on the Atlantic to Culema on the Indian Ocean okay so we see that some of the great success of David Livingston as an explorer partly because of his ability to get on with the local tribal chiefs so he traveled lightly without soldiers and his non-confrontational approach made it easier for him to be welcomed among the African tribals so the he was he was in a very good relationship he was he was welcomed by the African tribal so this became a good foundation for him to start sharing or preaching the Christian message but it did not force the chief tribal to accept it so like some of the some of his contemporaries so however although he had good qualities in enduring himself to the locals he was less praised by the fellow members of his own group so he was often criticized for his poor leadership and judgment so being subjected to the different modes and intolerant of criticism his fellow physician like John Kirk said of Livingston that I can come to no other conclusion than Dr. Livingstone is out of his mind and a most unsafe leader these were some of the quotes that his own fellow members commented about him but nothing stopped David from ministering to the Africans so what happened the other members of the Livingstone servants later expressed admiration for the for the determination of Livingstone had in the times of difficulty and even when he was sick he continued to minister among the Africans so at the end of 1850 we see that he resigned from the London missionary society to do it more time to exploration so he received a commission from the Royal Geography Society and this helped fund an exploration of River Zambe Zambsi so what happened so in 1866 we see that David Livingstone returned to Africa for a mission to discover the source of the Nile so he never quite attended the goal but it helped him to fulfill in details about the great lakes of Lake Tanganyika and Lake Meru so Livingstone also helped to identify some of the lakes there and unfortunately on his expedition he again lost helpers due to illness or desertion he also had supplies stolen and this required him to depend on the help of the slave traders which annoyed him so as he was in the serving period he suffered a variety of tropical illness due to the weather and the living condition they threw out his life so David Livingstone he died on the mission field with a dysentery and on May 1st 1872 at the age of 15 he passed away and he was known as a man of prayer as he was serving among the slave trade when he wants to abolish the slave trade among Africans he ministered to them and in his ministry he was a man of prayer people the Africans noticed him always kneeling next to his bed and praying with his hands joined so even when he passed away he passed away knelt in prayer this is how he was in the position when he passed away and the local African attendants like some of them who were very loyal to David Livingstone some of the names are listed but I'm not able to pronounce it correctly let me try like Chuma, Sousa, Nysa, Kyopare way somewhat reluctant to give up on Livingstone so in the end they say like you know David Livingstone you know he had no reason he was so attached to Africans and the slaves the tribal people who lived there that they said his heart was connected here he had no reason that he will leave this place but then when there was a demand that his body need to be carried back to England but the locals came up saying that no matter way you can carry his body but his heart will be for the Africans so you know this is what they did at the end they cut out his heart and they buried it in a buried it in Africa saying that it is a and they they commemorated with saying special memorial at the village called I la la near the edge of Bangui which is in Zambia so his body was taken to the coast where it was put in a ship to England and his body was buried at Westminster Abbey Abbey at England so this is the story of David Livingstone with that we will move on to the next person let me change the slide yeah this is some of the code that David Livingstone shared if you have men will only come if they know that there is a good road I don't want them I want men who will come if there is no road at all so here he's talking about the simple attitude of serving you know we need to step in with the heart of serving not knowing the comfort here and there's also another beautiful code shared by David Livingstone is I would rather be in the heart of Africa in the will of God than on the throne of England out of the will of God so we from these codes we could make out is love towards the Africans and the tribal people among whom he served during this last period before his death yeah but that we will move on to Hudson Taylor yeah Hudson Taylor was a missionary to China he was also a German Evangelical Lutheran missions he formed it in 1843 and his full name is James Hudson Taylor and he was a British Protestant Christian missionary to China and the founder of the China England Mission which is in short known as CIM now OMF International it's known as OMF International so Taylor spent 51 years in China the society that he began was responsible for bringing over 800 missionaries to the country who were who began 125 schools and directly resulted in 18,000 Christian conversion as well as the establishment of more than 300 stations of work with more than 500 local helpers in all 18 provinces so Taylor was known for a sensitivity to Chinese culture and zeal for evangelism so he adopted wearing native Chinese clothing even though this was rare among missionaries of that time so under his leadership we see that the CIM what is the full form of CIM China inland nation okay the CIM was singularly non-denominational in practice and accepted members from all Protestant groups so including individuals from the working class and single women as well as the multinational recruits primarily because of the CMI scamping against the opium trade so Taylor has been referred to as one of the most significant Europeans to visit China in the 19th century so now we see that there's no other missionary in the 19th century since the apostle Paul had a wider vision and had carried out a more systematic plan of the evangelizing on a broader geographical area than Hudson Taylor we see that Taylor was able to preach in several varieties of Chinese including mandarin chaozo and oof dialects of Shanghai and Ningbo the last of these he knew well enough to help prepare a colloquial edition of the new testament written in it um well if you look out his early days Taylor was born on 21st May 1832 and he was a son of a chemist and a Methodist lay preacher James Taylor and his wife Amelia so as a young man he ran away from the Christian beliefs of his parents well at 17 after reading an evangelicy track uh or a pamphlet titled poor Richard he professed faith in Christ and in December 1849 he committed himself to going to China as a missionary and at this time he came into contact with Edward Corrin of Kensington so one of the members of this first missionary missionary party of the uh primord brethren to back down so it is believed that Taylor learned his faith on mission principles from his contact with the brethren and Taylor was able to borrow a copy of china so in uh we see that he quickly read that about this time and he began studying the languages of some of the chinese language way he was preparing himself to go and minister at China so we see that along with his desire he started to prepare to fulfill the vision that God has uh or fulfill the purpose that God has put in his heart so we see that Taylor left England on 19th September in um 1853 before completing his medical studies he departed from Liverpool and arrived to Shanghai China so on 1st March 1854 nearly um there was a disastrous voyage abroad the clipper dumb fries through an early passage near Buru island lasted about five months so in china he was immediately uh was faced with the civil war throwing his first year there into turmoil so Taylor made 18 preaching tours in the vicinity of Shanghai starting in 1855 and was often poorly received by the people of china even though he was brought with his medical supplies and skills he made a decision to adopt the native chinese clothes and and the pigtail with a with a shaven forehead and was then able to gain an audience without creating a disturbance so it is very important that you know the outlook of a person to uh to minister to people or to a different set of audience um you know um yeah just like what uh Paul said like you know to a roman be a roman to a jew yes our our attire the way we portray ourselves also matters when it comes to sharing the gospel so previous to this Taylor realized that whatever event he was being referred to as a black devil because of the overcoat war so he distributed thousands of chinese gospel tracks and the portions of scriptures in and around Shanghai and during his stay in Shanghai he also adopted and cared for a chinese boy named handpan so scottish evangelist uh william clamor burns of the uh english presbyterian mission began work in shanto um you see that uh how he ministered in this area and he was received well by these people just give me a minute he was received well by the people and in 1858 we see that Taylor married maria jane dire the orphaned daughter of the reverend dire of the london missionary society who had been a pioneer missionary to chinese in penang malaysia so Hudson met maria in ningbo where she lived and worked at the school for girls which was run by one of the first female missionary to the chinese uh that was mary ann albersey so as a married couple now the tailors took care of an adopted boy named finance tyan c while living in ningbo they had a baby of their own that died late in 1858 and their first surviving child was graze was born in 1859 shortly after she was born the tailors took overall of the operations or at the hospital in ningbo that had been run by william parker so in a letter to his sister amalia Hudson Taylor he wrote on 14 feb 1860 he says like this if i had a thousand pounds china should have it if i had a thousand lives china should have them no not china but christ can we do too much for him can we do enough for our pressure can we do enough for our for such a precious savior so because of his health problem in 1860 Taylor decided to return to england for a furlough with his family the tailors sailed back to england brought to to the tea clipper jubilee along with their daughter graze and a young man went lunch from the brit street church in ningbo who would help with the bible translation work uh that would continue in england yeah so this is how he ministered to the people uh in china and Taylor used his time in england to continue his work with the company to continue his work in the translation of the new testament and to publish in the in the chinese language which in in turn can continue the mission work that he started at china so we see his character he was more uh mission and events leakage where he embraced the members of all leading denomination of the christians and the methods were somewhat a very peculiar which he adopted their newly proposed organization where he qualified the candidates for the mission work he chose the young ones and he shared the word of god with them and he encouraged them with the missionary to carry a missionary mindset and he sent them on missions so this was something new in those days and he also supported many mission or the lords people uh willing whoever uh will to serve in the mission really supported them financially and we also see that due to his health condition Taylor remained in switzerland and uh you know with his wife and in 1900 um not in 1900 sorry yeah Taylor returned yeah later he also returned to china for the 11th and the final time to visit and see how the mission feels in china is growing and how the people whom he appointed our ministering to and later due to his health condition he passed away um yeah so this is what about Hudson Taylor is all about so with that we can move on to the next person but i see the time is not sufficient for us to move on but then we could also see some of the revivals uh during the same period that was happening let me let me check that yeah happening in different places okay so in 1857 to 1858 we also see the layman's prayer revival that took place in new york so what happened in this revival it was a revival that was biggest and widespread revival in american history where it began as a in a small uh known day prayer meeting with about six people so in a matter of months this team grew for to 10 000 people meeting for prayer and this spread across america and it estimated one million people converted and another one million revived over two year period and this was led by the layman across the america and we see that the revival that started in new york in 1857 it affected several other parts of the world uh you know at the same time which includes wales scotland idland britain germany sweden netherlands and the west indies also affecting south africa india and indonesia so this period in 1857 to 1861 we you know the world saw the revival breaking out globally almost everywhere so uh uh you know uh uh almost everywhere at the same time and it seemed to be spreading like fire so in 1859 we see that the revival in uh you julester province which is in northern ireland hearing the reports of the revival in new york the church in ireland was stirred with a great hunger for revival so in september of 1857 four young men named james mackerel mackerel kin john valace robert card sleigh germaya menisley in julester northern ireland committed themselves to praying for revival so over the course of 1858 and toward early 1859 many more prayer groups started praying for the revival so it is estimated about 104 prayer groups all over the city of julester where praying almost day and night for the revival so we say that uh james mackerel kin organized a bigger prayer meeting on almost day and night for revival so uh he organized a prayer meeting in march 14th 1859 and that was attended by 300 people standing in the rain and mud they were gripped by the power of the holy spirit where nothing could disturb them or could uh you know move away from that meeting due to rain so during the message there was a lay man who was preaching for about 100 people fell to the ground under the conviction of sin tears streamed down many faces as people confessed their sins trying out to the lord and there was a revival fire that it was so much visible they ignited and began spreading into the homes and marketplaces so on may 17th the whole town was under the convicting power of the holy spirit so people were meeting for prayer everywhere in small groups and we see men women children broke down crying with strong physical manifestation and getting saved so we see the spirit of the lord move among them very vibrantly it was a tangible presence of god we we also noticed that the children prayed with great power revival spread through various countries and um you know uh at broad chain a factory was closed for two days as 20 of its workers laid down on the floor crying out to god a country fair where 5000 people were present turned into a prayer meeting we also see homes and families were restored as lives were changed so in belfast a large distillery closed and whiskey trade dropped we also see pubs closed judges had no cases to try and often there were no prisoners in the custody so we also saw some of the previous revivals that spread uh you know where the police the judges had no work so some of the same things that happened or repeated in the revival when the lord moved was the crime rate was dropped down tried to drop down and the lord convicted the sin of the people there was a cry for change a cry for the new life among the people and you know they were one lack uh people or more than that people were convicted and they joined the church we see the church expanded and grew we see people yearn for more of god so these are certain things that happened during the time in the revival and this revival prayer just didn't stop it continued it also reached the whales in 1859 like that was happening in northern island people in whales also engaged in prayer crossed the country and we see that god used two men uh hamphrey jones who had returned to whales after two years so in america and we also see david morgan who was a calvinistic methodist preacher who heard hamphrey jones preach and he began working with them so god used these two men to fuel the flames of revival through their preaching many people or many people were convicted out of their sin and they were saved we also see the the revival fire just didn't minister to the elderly or elderly people or the adults we also see children were touched they were crying they were filled with a tangible presence of god and we see the revival broke in about 40 coal miles at the same time so the ministers and the churches were revived across the whales and we see how powerfully the holy spirit moved in this season it also reached scotland and england when the news of what was happening in north america and northern island it reached scotland the church in scotland began to pray and ask god for a similar outpouring say the church could only pray like this when the holy spirit ministers to them so the minute they started crying out and praying you see a revival fire broke in scotland and england so the people were reported to attend the weekly prayer for revival so in addition they were about 1,205 prayer meetings that were births and this revival was across the interdenomination prayer meetings people went no more into the denomination mind they just came out of that they were meeting in groups they were started to pray and cry out to god they were convicted of their sin and they wanted more of god there was you know sudden urge or passion or zeal to know more about god and they were yearning for more of him and they started forming small groups where they could pray and seek god so this is what was happening where there was a rise of people joining the church and the people we added every day to the church and this is how the revival broke in different places in north america england northern island scotland and the other places yeah so with that we will stop for today's session and we can pray and ask god how these lay people just in form of small groups the thirst or the urge for revival they just prayed lord revive me help me to carry that revival fire and this passion spread throughout can we all pray in that way dear god we thank you we praise you father as we studied about the revivalist and the revivals how the lay people prayed and there was a revival that broke out the revival fire burst throughout the world lord in different places of father people were convicted of their sin churches were birthed church people were added to the church lord i pray that lord we come as we are lord into your hands we submit
