About the Author
John Hyde (1865-1912) was an American missionary who believed God had called him to preach in the Punjab region of India. While traveling to fulfill that calling, Hyde read a letter from a friend who said he would ask God to fill John with the Holy Spirit. Angry at the suggestion that he did not already have the Spirit, he threw it away. However he then humbled himself and prayed to God for help. As Hyde was partially deaf, he struggled to learn the native languages. When his mission garnered persecution instead of converts at first, he began praying intensely. Beginning in 1899, he spent entire nights in prayer. In 1904 he began to attend a conference at Sialkot. He formed the Punjab Prayer Union, the members of which set aside half an hour a day to pray for spiritual revival. In 1908 he told the conference his dream that there would be one conversion a day, and a year later over 400 more converts had been made. He came to be called "Praying Hyde" for his passionate prayers to reach lost souls. Near the end of his life, it was discovered that he was very unwell. He went home to America and died there, in February 1912. His last words were "Shout the victory of Jesus Christ!"
