Azusa Street Mission

The Azusa Street Mission was a historic Christian revival that took place in Los Angeles, California, from 1906 to 1915. Led by preacher William J. Seymour, it emphasized spiritual experiences, including speaking in tongues and healing. The mission became a pivotal event for the Pentecostal movement, which focuses on the Holy Spirit's gifts and a personal relationship with God. It attracted diverse participants and set the stage for the global spread of Pentecostalism, a major Christian movement today. Its impact continues to be felt in contemporary worship practices and the growth of charismatic churches worldwide.
