Testimonies and the East African Revival

Bishop Bill Atwood -  The reflections of the General Secretary of the Church Missionary Society
 
One of the most amazing forces that has shaped the Christian faith in Africa has been the East African Revival. It started more than seventy years ago when a small group of Rwandan missionaries crossed the Southwestern border of Uganda to share their testimonies and the power of the Holy Spirit at Bishop Barham College. When they began to share, the Holy Spirit "fell" on the whole group and they spent three days in worship, overwhelmed by the manifest presence of God. The entire group was radically transformed by the encounter and went out all over East Africa sharing what had happened and inviting people to come into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. They called people to change their lives and to commit to Jesus as Savior and Lord. 

The revival also blessed other denominations, such as the Lutherans in Tanzania and the Presbyterians in Kenya. And in Uganda, the children of people who were instrumental in the revival are now leaders within the Anglican church, while others are at the forefront of independent Pentecostal churches.
