Origins of the Pentecostal Movement
The pentecostal movement had its origins in believers who were intensely desiring more of God
in the late 19th century. People were getting interested in world evangelization and realized
that they needed the original power of the Holy Spirit to do this. They sought God and prayed.
Many Methodists and Salvation Army people were among those who were most hungry for God, and
embraced the move of the Holy Spirit.
