She prayed for funds to bring back \"glowing coals\" to her mission field in China. However, God directed her differently. Through a still, small voice, she received the message: \"What is happening in Korea can happen in China if you will pay the price in prayer.\" Monsen accepted this challenge with a solemn promise: \"Then I will pray until I receive.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Revival Movement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLeslie Lyall identifies Marie Monsen as the \"pioneer\" of the revival movement—the handmaiden upon whom the Spirit was first poured out.
