SAO PAULO, Brazil – Over a century ago, a partially-sighted African American minister came from Texas to Los Angeles to spread the Pentecostal ministry. His early efforts to preach the Pentecostal message were rejected. Church leaders were suspicious of his religious doctrine and his teachings, but he persevered and kept on praying. Then in April of 1906, a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurred within his small group of worshipers. There were physical and mental healings, speaking in unknown languages and many other miraculous and inexplicable occurrences. Word spread and soon hundreds of people started coming from all over the world to the Apostolic Faith Mission on Azusa Street in Los Angeles to receive the Holy Spirit. Read more here

Os líderes da igreja ficaram desconfiados de sua doutrina religiosa e seus ensinamentos, mas ele perseverou e continuou a orar. Então, em Abril de 1906, um poderoso derramamento do Espírito Santo ocorreu dentro de seu pequeno grupo de adoradores. Havia curas físicas e mentais, falar em línguas desconhecidas e muitas outras ocorrências milagrosas e inexplicáveis. read more

Father, I break the power of false accusation which was spoken against the Pentecostal Movement declaring that it was from the devil. I bind the revocation of October 1907, which states, “The spirit in Los Angeles (Azusa Street) was not the Spirit of the Lord but a lying spirit.” I declare John 8:32 over the Azusa Street Revival, “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” I declare that the Pentecostal Movement was divinely orchestrated by the Lord and resulted in the manifestation of signs, wonders and miracles.

Over a century ago, a partially-sighted African American minister, William J. Seymour, came to Los Angeles to share the message that the Holy Spirit still baptizes people with the evidence of speaking in tongues. His early efforts to preach the Pentecostal message were rejected. Church leaders were suspicious of his religious doctrine and his teachings, but he persevered and kept on praying. On April 9, of 1906, a powerful outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurred within a small group of worshippers. The news spread and soon hundreds of people started coming from all over the world to the Apostolic Faith Mission on Azusa Street in Los Angeles seeking to receive the Holy Spirit. The Azusa Street Revival lasted over three years and is widely considered to be the primary catalyst that sparked the worldwide Pentecostal Movement. Currently, it is estimated that over 800 million Pentecostals in the United States, Latin America, Africa and Asia can trace their religious origins to the Azusa Street Revival and Bishop Seymour.
Fred and Wilma Berry carry on the history of Azusa Street as international representatives through the Azusa Street Mission. The organizations mission is to carry the flame of Azusa Street to the next generation throughout the nations of the world. “There is an expectation of the fulfillment of William J. Seymour’s prophesy of a greater revival spreading all over the world like unto the Azusa Street Revival,” said Apostle Berry, “It’s America’s time again – God has chosen this nation for this hour-and we’re praying for leaders to come together in unity at Azusafest to unlock a catalyst to a great wave of God’s spirit for the Last Days harvest and revival.”
