 1885 AD – The Chicago–London Revival Ignites Global Evangelism: Ordinary Believers Multiply the Mission Published 8/29/2025 1885 AD – The Chicago–London Revival Ignites Global Evangelism: Ordinary Believers Multiply the Mission In 1885, Moody’s simple preaching and Sankey’s hymns shook Chicago and London. Can revival still spread through ordinary believers today? In 1885, Dwight L. Moody’s evangelistic campaigns in Chicago and London drew thousands through simple sermons and Ira Sankey’s hymns. More than events, they sparked lasting revival, launching Bible institutes, missions, and lay training. Moody’s interdenominational approach showed how ordinary believers could multiply the gospel worldwide. Dwight L. Moody’s 1885 revival meetings in Chicago and London were not just spectacles of mass attendance—they reshaped the future of evangelical outreach. Through plain preaching and heartfelt hymns, he reached across class and denominational lines. More importantly, his Northfield Conferences and Bible training empowered everyday Christians to share their faith with clarity and courage. The ripple effect touched missions, education, and global evangelism, influencing figures like Billy Sunday and Billy Graham. This episode challenges us to rethink revival: not as a headline event, but as countless individuals living out bold faith in ordinary places.

Moody’s revival campaigns swept across Chicago and London, igniting a movement that reshaped modern evangelical outreach. Moody was not a scholar or trained orator; he was a former shoe salesman who spoke in plain, direct words about sin, grace, and salvation. Crowds filled massive halls lit by gas lamps, eager to hear his gravelly voice and sing along with the powerful hymns led by Ira Sankey. Newspapers marveled at the scenes—lines stretching for blocks, choirs shaking theaters with songs of hope, and lives being transformed. But Moody’s impact was never just about events. His Northfield Conferences in Massachusetts gathered pastors, missionaries, and laypeople for days of preaching, prayer, and training. Participants left renewed, equipped to carry the gospel back into their neighborhoods and far beyond. Out of this vision grew the Chicago Evangelization Society, later Moody Bible Institute, dedicated to multiplying evangelists and missionaries. His interdenominational approach cut across barriers, drawing Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, and others into shared mission without erasing their convictions. The revival also bore social fruit. YMCA records describe young people committing themselves to foreign missions and service among the urban poor. Evangelism, education, and reform became intertwined. Moody’s methods influenced Billy Sunday, Billy Graham, and countless others, shaping a recognizable pattern of modern mass evangelism—simple preaching, heartfelt music, and clear invitations. Sankey’s hymn collections spread worldwide, embedding the sound of revival into churches and homes. Critics at the time dismissed Moody’s approach as emotionalism, worried that mass meetings produced shallow converts. Yet the lasting evidence lies in churches strengthened, missionaries sent, and institutions founded. Moody himself deflected credit, insisting, “It is not my sermons, but God’s Spirit working through His Word.” His humility underscored the conviction that revival is God’s work, not man’s show. For today’s believers, Moody’s story raises pressing questions. Do we confuse large gatherings with genuine transformation? Are we equipping others to carry on the mission, or relying on a few leaders? The 1885 revival demonstrates that the gospel spreads most powerfully when ordinary Christians—teachers, workers, mothers, musicians—are trained and sent. Revival is ...
