"It would be very easy to prove that revivals of religion have usually been accompanied, if not caused, by a considerable amount of preaching out of doors, or in unusual places." C H Spurgeon
Why did Jessus send his servants into the highways and hedges?
Just to do 1 on 1?
George Whitefield
"Finding the pulpits are denied me, and the poor colliers are ready to perish for lack of knowledge, I went to them, and preached on a mount to upwards of 200. Blessed be God, that the ice is now broken, and I have now taken the field... I thought it might be doing the service of my Creator, who had a mountain for His pulpit, and the heavens for His soundingboard: and who, when the gospel was refused by the Jews, sent His servants into the highways and hedges.
