On Monday February 4, 2008 Trevor Tobin will begin a Businessperson's Prayer Gathering in his office in Brainerd/Baxter, MN. Will Edgewood Drive become the next Fulton Street? Will Trevor Tobin become the next Jeremiah Lamphier?
In 1857 New York City was rocked by Revival. Jeremiah Lamphier, a businessman, was appointed by the Dutch Reformed Church as a missionary to the central business district. He organized a weekly prayer meeting in the city.
As the first meeting began Lamphier prayed alone. A half hour passed and five other men joined him. The next week 20 men joined him. The next week it was 40 and they moved to a daily prayer meeting.
Within six months 10,000 people were gathering to pray in over 15o prayer meetings. This prayer meeting is pointed to as the beginning of the Second Great Awakening where it is reported that one million people came to saving faith in the LORD Jesus Christ.
Can it happen again?Let's find out!!!
