As a teenager, Mary Peckham witnessed a great revival, but at first she wasn't interested in participating.

Oh, I knew that there were people who were converted. I knew there were children of God, and I believed that they were children of God.

And I believed, furthermore, that I was going to hell. But there were so many people going to hell with me that it didn't concern me too much.

It's Tuesday, March 27th, and you're listening to Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee-Demoss.

When you're in God's presence, it's a place of great peace, right? Well, it depends. If you're not right with God, a sense of his presence is terrifying. We'll hear today about a teenager

who has experienced both the fear and the peace of knowing

God was present.

Here's Nancy to tell us why this woman's testimony is so meaningful.

Someone has said that revival is a movement of God's spirit that brings extraordinary results. One such movement that did bring

about extraordinary results in the hearts of many people took place in the early 1950s on the

island of Lewis just off the coast of Scotland. This week we're going to have the privilege of

hearing the testimony of a woman who was converted as a teenager during that revival.

Her name is Mary Peckham, and as I listened to this testimony for the first time a few years ago,

I was struck by how her story illustrates some of the marks of genuine revival.

Mary and her husband, Colin, served for many years with the Faith Mission Bible College in

Edinburgh, Scotland.

Now they are involved in full-time itinerant ministry, sharing with God's people throughout

Europe and in the United States and other parts of the world, the message of revival.

And what we'll hear today, Mary tells us a little bit about her background and where God

found her when that revival first began.

As has been said, I was born and brought up in the Hebridean Islands.

I hope you've got your geography right and that you know exactly where that is.
