Ministry
Aged 37, John began to travel and preach, usually outside, to ever-increasing crowds. He often
preached three times a day, beginning at 5 am, riding sixty miles a day. What did he preach?
Thriftiness, cleanliness, honesty, salvation, good family relations and, above all, faith in Christ
He had huge amounts of energy; he translated hymns, interpreted Scriptures, wrote hundreds
of letters and trained hundreds of men and women.
Legacy
1. He spoke in ordinary language. He affected the English language.
2. He left a network of disciplined churches throughout the country.
3. He taught the poor how to have a hope of their own.
The hope he gave to the poor was one reason why Britain had no revolution.
