JC Ryle characterized George Whitfield's ministry with one descriptive word, "Aggressive." Whitfield went to the people who would never dawn the doors of a church. Ryle went on to say that Whitfield, as a good fisherman, knew that fish don't naturally come into the boat, fishermen must go after them.
In this Whitfield followed the pattern of Christ's ministry, "He came to
seek and save the lost."
Years ago I described the my philosophy of ministry to a supporting church like this:
Christ said, "The gates of hell shall not prevail." So my philosophy is "Attack!"
