The Hebridean Revival of 1949, led by Scottish preacher Duncan Campbell, was a powerful Christian spiritual awakening that swept through the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Beginning in December 1949 and lasting several years, this revival saw widespread repentance, prayer, and church gatherings, profoundly impacting local communities. Campbell was invited by two elderly sisters who had been fervently praying for a revival. The movement is often described as a sovereign act of God, where people were drawn to repentance without organised outreach. The Hebridean Revival is still remembered for its deep spiritual impact today!

✍️ ABOUT STEVE LEE
I've been a storyteller all my life with a deep love of history. As a dreamer in Sunday School, I was mesmerised by the stories of the Bible - David and Goliath, the Battle of Jericho and the parting of the Red Sea. But through my teenage years, I struggled to get the whole religious thing and left it well alone. It took me some time to realise I needed to go back and pick up what I left behind. At 20 I encountered the God of the Bible stories I had learned about as a kid and it changed my life forever. I founded Miracle Street as a result and it has taken me all over the world on countless adventures. Today I communicate in all kinds of environments - indoors, outdoors and online, often retelling the stories of famous lives and epic moments from the past. Behind it all is a backcloth of the greatest story ever told - the story of a creator God who has relentlessly loved this world and the people in it.
