Azuza Street Revival

The Azusa Street Revival was a significant religious movement that began in 1906 in Los Angeles, led by Pastor William J. Seymour. It is considered the birthplace of the modern Pentecostal movement, characterized by spirited worship, speaking in tongues, divine healing, and communal prayer. This revival drew diverse people and spread rapidly, inspiring countless churches worldwide. It emphasized personal spiritual experience and renewal, transforming Christian worship practices. The Azusa Street Revival played a key role in shaping contemporary Pentecostal and charismatic Christian denominations, influencing global religious landscapes well into the 20th and 21st centuries.
