Abstract
A church revival which happened in 1906 in Los Angeles sparked a
massive global church movement which came to be known as the
Pentecostal-charismatic movement. It started with a single woman
about a hundred years ago, and today it has more than 600 million
adherents. It is perhaps the most significant development in the
Christian church since the Protestant Reformation of the 16th
century and it certainly has changed the face of Christianity
irrevocably. In this article we look at the roots of this movement and
its massive impact on the global Christian church. We will also
attempt to answer the question of why this movement has been so
incredibly successful.
