The Card in the Window

"If anyone is interested in praying for revival, come in and join me." So ran the words on a card that Calvin Lamphier displayed in the window of his room in Fulton Street, New York, in the year 1857.

The first day that the card appeared he prayed alone. Then others began to join him until the room became too small. The burden for revival began to spread until hundreds were meeting to ask the Lord to "Turn again our captivity, O Lord".

Very soon the winds of revival began to blow in New York and 250,000 souls were ushered into the Kingdom of God in a few weeks.
