You loved our recent episode on revival in Scotland so here is a bonus episode about more revival! Some from now times and some from past times. This is an audio only episode so it won’t be available on our Youtube channel. We decided to go audio only as some of the missionaries in this episode work in countries where the gospel is not aloud to be preached so revealing their identity could be dangerous.
