Wesleyan Reactions to Happy Clappy Charismatic Preachers – Leonard Ravenhill

Posted on October 6, 2024 by The Town Crier Outlet
This explains Leonard Ravenhill’s time with the Trekkers, which was an itinerant evangelistic team of young Nazarene preachers, that helped to found the Church of the Nazarene in England.

Ravenhill eventually felt “called to interdenominational evangelism” in 1951 after resigning from the Calvary Holiness Church. The main reason for the split was apparently the anti-tongues attitude that was present in the ministry (pp. 171-172). He experienced publishing success with Why Revival Tarries in 1959. He never spoke in tongues himself, but he was always open to it; and had come to believe that the holiness people were way too bigoted and anti-tongues in their attitude. This explains why he would later preach for Assemblies of God, Church of God, Vineyard, and befriend Pentecostal preacher David Wilkerson, who’s Cross and the Switchblade came out in 1963 (p. 165).
