The angry crowd demanded that John leave the house. Soon John, racing through the night towards a neighboring town, found himself surrounded by three hundred people. In this city, the crowd grew and the situation became worrying. “Are you ready to hear me speak?” » John shouted. " No no ! » replied many people in the crowd. “Knock him out.” Shoot him down. Kill him. »
Pursuing his calling with a unique vision, John Wesley defied the force of angry mobs and long-established traditions to bring the hope of Christ to millions who were beyond the influence of the churches of the time. Passionate and tireless, this Anglican priest traveled forty thousand kilometers on horseback during his life, stopping to preach more than forty thousand sermons in the open air, in churches and barns.
Centered on God, love and holy living, the movement founded by John Wesley quickly spread throughout Britain, where vibrant Methodist societies for Christ mushroomed and soon extended their influence to distant nations. .
