When church doors were closed to him by a jealous English clergy, George Whitefield took to the fields. He ignited revival across the American Colonies.
Outside the Walls: Where God Awakens Nations
From the start of our story, God has often met people outside the walls.
Charles Spurgeon said that seasons of revival usually rise with preaching in the open—fields, streets, and “unusual places.”
Early America shows the pattern. Jonathan Edwards preached across New England (1731–1758). John and Charles Wesley carried the gospel to crowds (1738–1791).
George Whitefield crossed the Atlantic and, starting in 1738, preached some 18,000 sermons in 32 years. Circuit rider Francis Asbury carried the flame from town to town.
In Scotland, “holy fairs” flamed hearts with the Gospel of the Kingdom. Immigrants brought that fervor here.
The First Great Awakening not only converted people. It helped knit the Colonies together and prepared hearts and minds for America’s founding.
Methodist preachers were known for camp meetings in America.
Across the 2,000-year story of the Church, God has often worked through proclamation that flourished outside the established religious system.
Many times, those systems resisted the stirrings. Yet the Word ran swiftly.
So what’s our application now?
The public square has shifted. Parks, campuses, and sidewalks still matter. So do simple, Spirit-led conversations over walks and coffee.
And now we have digital “open air” spaces—live streams, Zoom meetings, podcasts, short-form video, newsletters like Pray American DNA. And more.
Add to that Micro Ekklesias: Kingdom Klusters (intentional spelling!) in homes and third places that can complement congregational life.

🗝️ Kingdom prayer key
From fields to digital spaces, revival thrives beyond known church walls. King Jesus moves when we step into the open.
Honor all and step out with strength.
Ask the Holy Spirit to align you with others.
The Holy Spirit will fill you with words, first for prayer, then for public “salt and light” proclamation.

Each generation needs to rediscover America’s DNA.
We can draw on America's founding prayers, covenants, documents, and early experiences as "prayer architecture" for today. Adapt the prayer language below to your prayer voice as the Holy Spirit leads.
