Michael Marcel from UK Wells has just completed an 8-part documentary series that tells the remarkable story of D.L. Moody’s ministry in Britain—a story that still stirs his heart every time I reflect on it.
Between 1873 and 1892, something extraordinary happened across these isles. From Edinburgh to tiny villages in Wales, from university halls to working-class neighbourhoods, the Holy Spirit moved in ways that changed countless lives and united believers across every denominational line.
This series traces Moody’s journey through three historic missions—watching how his ministry deepened and matured, how students at Cambridge were stirred to become missionaries, and how one surrendered life became a catalyst for transformation across an entire nation.
Experience the complete story of DL Moody’s transformative ministry in Britain through this comprehensive 8-part documentary series covering his three historic missions between 1873-1892.
Follow Moody’s journey from his first groundbreaking campaign with Ira Sankey, through the spreading of revival fires across denominations and regions, to his final visit focusing on discipleship and training. Discover how “Holy Spirit was hovering over the nation” as awakening spread from major cities like Edinburgh, Glasgow and Manchester to remote villages across Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland.
See how Moody’s ministry evolved from emotional appeals to emphasising repentance and lasting fruit, witness the impact on universities including the formation of the Cambridge Seven missionaries, and learn about the extraordinary unity across denominations during these revival periods. Each episode reveals different aspects of how one surrendered life sparked a movement that transformed British Christianity.
Split into eight manageable segments whilst maintaining the complete narrative of this remarkable period in British church history.
