Azusa Street Revival

The Azusa Street Revival was a pivotal Christian movement that began in 1906 in Los Angeles, California. Led by William J. Seymour, an African American preacher, it emphasized the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, and spiritual healing. This event sparked the modern Pentecostal movement, which celebrates a personal experience of God and the gifts of the Spirit. The revival was marked by passionate worship, racial diversity, and a focus on evangelism. Its impact has been profound, influencing countless churches and millions of believers worldwide, shaping contemporary Christian practices and fueling a wave of spiritual renewal.
