1906 Revival

The 1906 Revival, often referred to as the Azusa Street Revival, was a significant religious movement that began in Los Angeles, California. It emphasized spiritual experiences like speaking in tongues and divine healing, energizing the Pentecostal movement. Led by African American preacher William J. Seymour, this revival attracted a diverse group of followers and marked a shift toward a more expressive form of worship. It had a profound impact on Christianity, leading to the establishment of numerous Pentecostal churches and influencing various other Christian denominations worldwide. Its legacy continues to shape modern religious practices.
