Important Note: Just as with all preachers and authors, it's essential to acknowledge that we, as humans, are all tainted by sin. While we may appreciate various resources and authors, it's crucial to remember that the only infallible source we can fully trust in all matters of faith and doctrine is the Bible—God's own written word. Therefore, while exploring the resources and insights provided, it's vital to filter everything through the lens of Scripture. In the spirit of the Bereans (Acts 17:11), let's diligently search the Scriptures to verify and align with God's truth.

Revival is a Spirit-driven movement of renewal, fostering greater holiness and evangelistic zeal. This section highlights the global mission to proclaim the gospel and includes biographies of faithful Christians who have exemplified dedication to revival and missions.

Revival – God’s sovereign work in renewing His church through repentance and zeal.
Missions – The call to take the gospel to all nations.
Biographies (Puritans, Reformers, Missionaries) – Learning from faithful saints who shaped church history.
