YadeshCharles Spurgeon
Spurgeon preached his first sermon at 16. By 19 he was the most popular preacher in London. By the end of his life his sermons had been translated into more languages than any other Christian writing outside the Bible. He also suffered severe depression and wrote about it openly at a time when no one in ministry did. His honesty about the darkness makes his faith in the light more credible, not less.
Smith Wigglesworth
Wigglesworth was an illiterate plumber from Bradford who taught himself to read using only the Bible. His central teaching was that faith is not a feeling you wait for but a decision you act on before the evidence arrives. Accounts of his ministry are among the most widely circulated from the 20th century healing revival, though their documentation varies. Love him or question him, the directness of his teaching has not softened with time.
Enoch Adeboye
Enoch Adeboye has led one of the world's largest church networks for over forty years, and the single practice he has pointed to most consistently as the foundation of everything else is prayer. Not prayer as a warm-up to ministry activity, but prayer as the primary work itself. He argues that what looks like organizational growth from the outside is the visible result of an invisible prayer infrastructure that most observers never account for.
