Born in Tŷ Capel, Pontypool, Wales, Seth Joshua was son of George and Mary Joshua.
Joshua had been praying for years that God would raise up a young man from the pits to revive the churches. In 1904, he preached at a meeting in Newcastle Emlyn which students from the Methodist Academy attended including former mine worker, Evan Roberts. The students were so moved that they cancelled classes to go to Blaenanerch where Joshua prayed publicly, O God, bend us.
Evan Roberts went forward where he prayed with great agony, O God, bend medical
In October 1905, Joshua, was invited to hold a mission in London.
