God needed a man like John Wesley for a particular time, a specific place and a special purpose. Patiently He worked with this chosen instrument to awaken, convict and redeem a nation. God breathed on his weakness and abilities alike, giving him a hunger and thirst for holiness which would not be denied. Criss-crossing his country an incredible quarter of a million miles astride a horse, he preached at thousands of outdoor evangelistic meetings. In his own pulpit, Wesley's pastoral and teaching ministry filled the pews and spilled over to other congregations, eventually unifying into a strong church body.
