Be An Agitator!

John Wesley (1703-1791) worked tirelessly for the spiritual and material welfare of the urban poor in England. He preached the gospel and opened free dispensaries, set up a kind of credit union, and established schools and orphanges. He improved spirits and conditions, going beyond welfare to include economic alternatives and agitated for major reform.

He along with George Whitefield laid the spiritual foundation among the British and their colonies that is part our our spiritual formation and foundation. Even secular historians acknowledge that it was the social results coming out of the Wesley revival that saved England from its own form of the French Revolution.
