Before Azusa Street in 1906, there was the
Welsh Revival in 1904. It was one of the greatest revivals ever and
perhaps the one with the most tragic end. That's because the spirit of

nation on fire for God.

to heaven. We are going to see the mightiest revival that Wales has
ever known—and the Holy Spirit is coming just now. We must get ready."
