Title: Circus Tent Transformed in to a Revival
Topic: Evangelism

The Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus Tent was a wonder. It still is! Elephants, clowns, dancers, and monkeys have thrilled and dazzled crowds across the globe for over a century.

But did you know that the Big Tent was also used by Dwight L. Moody for evangelistic campaigns and revivals? Thousands came to hear the man preach in New York City. I wonder if they would do the same today…
