David Brainerd

David Brainerd was a missionary to American Indians in colonial days. During the winter nights, he would often go out into the forest and kneel in the cold snow where it was a foot deep.

Laboring with God in prayer, he would be wringing wet with perspiration even on the coldest evenings.

God heard Brainerd and sent such a mighty revival among the North American Indians as had never been seen before.

And the Lord transformed Brainerd’s father-in-law, Jonathan Edwards, into the great preacher of the First Great Awakening.

If more Christians prayed like Brainerd, more would preach like Edwards.

And Awakening would come again.
