Why has revival not yet come to the UK?

For years, Christians in the UK have comforted themselves with the thought that revival is just around the corner. So, asks Malcolm Macdonald, where is it? And what can the Church do to hasten it?

Over the years, the Church has seen many stirrings and blessings, but not (as yet) a nation-changing outpouring of God’s Spirit, the likes of which have not been seen in the UK since 1859, when one million people came to faith in Christ across every part of the country.

This is the time of the ‘missing revival’. We are overdue an amazing outpouring. But are God’s people hungry for it? Have you noticed this gap? Do you yearn and pray for it? We in the Church are incredibly busy, well organised, expertly managed and full of creativity, yet we remain largely spiritually impotent. The nation drifts further away from God each year. Where is the manifest presence of God?
