In the early 1900s, Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California,
became synonymous with the Holy Spirit's renewal in America.
What began in a dilapidated former Methodist church building
became a spiritual fire that sweep across America and over the
Atlantic to much of Great Britain and parts of Europe. Here from
the pen of Frank Bartleman, an early participant in the movement,
we have an eyewitness account of what many believed was the
"Latter Rain" of the Book of Joel.
It was the time of high and
holy days that stirred not only the Church, but many in the
secular world as well. Newspapers across America reported the
strange events that were taking place. Out of Azusa Street, new
denominations and thousands of churches all over the world were
born. 2006 was the 100th anniversary of the Holy Spirit outbreak
at Azusa Street.
