Speakers & Contributors

Rev David Meredith is Mission Director for the Free Church of Scotland based in Edinburgh. Previously he was senior minister at Smithton Free Church where he ministered for over 30 years. In that period the church grew from a church plant to being one of the largest in Scotland. Currently he oversees church planting, revitalisation and cross-cultural mission within his denomination. He is married to Nina and they have four children and four grandchildren. He enjoys motorcycling and walking in the Scottish highlands.

David will explore four biblical passages where revival took place. The aim will be to take revival out of the nostalgia category and apply the teaching to our contemporary context.
