Jonathan Edwards, a hero of the faith, became one of the most prolific American Colonist’s preachers, and was an integral part of the "Great Spiritual Awakening" in America. 

 He was married in 1727 and was known to be a very loving, compassionate, man who spent quality personal time with his family. 

He had 11 children. 

In the evening, he would sit down with his children for one hour each day. He took the time to talk, listen and pray over them. And then pray a special blessing over each one. What then was the result of his loving care? 

In 1900, a man named A E Winship tracked down 1400 of  the descendants of Pastor Jonathan Edwards. 

Here’s what he found: 

285 College graduates 

300 Preachers 

13 College Presidents  

65 College Professors

100 Christian Lawyers 

1 Dean of Law 

30 Judges 

56 Physicians 

80 Public Officers 

3 Senators 

1 Vice President 

1 Comptroller the US Treasury 

Jesus said, "Men ought always to pray."
