“I would like to make it perfectly clear that I did not bring revival to the Hebrides… Revival was there before I ever set foot on the island. It began in a gracious awareness of God sweeping through the parish of Barvas.”
Duncan Campbell, 1968

“When I speak of revival, I am not thinking of high-pressure evangelism. I am not thinking of crusades or of special efforts convened and organized by man…Revival is a moving of God in the community and suddenly the community becomes God conscious before a word is said by any man representing any special effort.”
Duncan Campbell, 1968

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants.”

“Who shall ascend the hill of God? Who shall stand in His holy place? He that has clean hands and a pure heart who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity or sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing of the Lord.” Psalm 24:3-5

“And an awareness of God gripped the community such as hadn't been known for over 100 years. An awareness of God - that's revival.”
Duncan Campbell, 1968

“This is revival dear people! This is a sovereign act of God! This is the moving of God's Spirit, I believe in answer to the prevailing prayer of men and women who believed that God was a covenant-keeping God but must be true to His covenant engagement.”
Duncan Campbell, 1968

“An awareness for God gripped them, and a hunger possessed them and they cried out to God for mercy. What a joy it was to listen to them tell again of that wonderful experience when God swept into the seven houses. My dear people, that's revival. I mean, it is so different from our special efforts. So apart altogether from man's best endeavor. God is in the middle and miracles happen.”
Duncan Campbell, 1968
