The Apostolic Faith Mission on Azusa Street in downtown Los Angeles, now considered to be the birthplace of Pentecostalism.



Apostolic Faith Mission in Los Angeles

And now, this just proves that the journey of FAITH has no impossibilities as it was said by Christ Jesus during His ministryAzusa Street Revival a historic Pentecostal revival meeting that took place in Los Angeles, California and is the origin of the Pentecostal movement.It was led by William J. Seymour, an African American preacher. It began with a meeting on April 9, 1906, and continued until roughly 1915. The revival was characterized by ecstatic spiritual experiences accompanied by miracles, dramatic worship services, speaking in tongues, and inter-racial mingling. The participants were criticized by the secular media and Christian theologians for behaviors considered to be outrageous and unorthodox, especially at the time. Today, the revival is considered by historians to be the primary catalyst for the spread of Pentecostalism in the 20th century
