“I believe that her prayers and actions prepared the way for a Revival led by a self educated miner, young people and women. Her action was a realignment towards the heart of the gospel; ordinary, uneducated people transformed by the love of Jesus, confounding the wisdom of the day through sheer obedience. This was to be the story of the many ordinary women who followed. Small realignments were preparing a way for revival streams to break through.”

“A great number of young people have been inspired to such an extent as to make them courageous enough to speak to sinners every chance they get...prayer meetings are held in the trains and many converts are made. The public houses and beer clubs are empty; old debts are paid, jealousy vanishes, church and family feuds are healed; great drunkards, prize fighters and gamblers pray in the services and give their testimony; the chapels throughout the populous valleys of Glamorganshire are full every night, all denominations have sunk their small differences to co-operate as one body and the huge processions along the streets send a thrill of terror through the vilest sinners. Owing to these things the attention of the whole of South Wales is entirely captivated, the revival is the topic in all spheres and amongst all sections of society; and strong people are overwhelmed by reading the newspaper accounts of it. People begin to pour in from all parts of England, Scotland, Ireland to see and judge for themselves of the nature and characteristics of the movement and most of them say - “This is truly the work of the Holy Spirit and it is wonderful”2”

“But if you have big ideas you have to use big words to express them, haven’t you?”

“Kate’s age, her lack of education, her poverty and her gender were no disqualification to an outbreak of revival.”
