Rend the Heavens

“Can a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry? Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die? Could a fireman sit idle while men burn and give no hand? Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you damned? – Leonard Ravenhill

“What God’s truth demands, His Grace will provide.” Francis Frangipane

“I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace, day or night. You who call upon the Lord, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest till He establishes….” – Isaiah 62:6-7

“The Scottish revivalist John Knox cried to God, “Give me Scotland or I die!” The cry of the Moravian Fellowship could well have been, “Oh God, give us souls or take us now!” – Frank Di Pietro

“See what the Moravians have done? Cannot we follow their example…and preach the Gospel to the heathen?” – William Carey

“This small group of people, in twenty years, called into being more missions than the whole Church has done in two centuries.” – Dr. Warneck

This missionary work, that would soon fill the Kingdom of God, was birthed by intense intercessory prayer. Perched atop a prayer tower, these nearly forgotten prayer warriors took turns praying 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from 1727-1827 – 100 years nonstop! “This intense intercessory prayer pioneered the richest and most daring missionary work in the history of the Church.” – Jim Goll
