In early August 1745, David Brainerd (1718-1747) observed an amazing awakening among the Native Americans living in Crossweeksung, New Jersey.
A large crowd gathered to hear him preach, and the Spirit of God moved in a powerful fashion. Brainerd described his observations in his diary:
“The power of God seemed to descend upon the assembly ‘like a mighty rushing wind,’ and with an astonishing energy bore down all before it. . . . I must say I never saw any day like it, in all respects: it was a day wherein I am persuaded the Lord did much to destroy the kingdom of darkness among this people.”
Within a few months, Brainerd planted a church at Crossweeksung. Within two years, he died in the home of Jonathan Edwards.
Who was David Brainerd and what where his disciple making methods? In my most recent video, I address these topics. Check it out below or click HERE.
