We are at a strategic time in Pentecostal history. A century ago, with the Azusa Street Revival, Pentecost ignited the West Coast and spread eastward throughout the United Staes. Major Pentecostal denominations trace their roots back to the turn of the twentieth century. The experience of Pentecost was carried around the globe, and today some 650 million people embrace the experience of the baptisim in the Holy Spirit.
