Revival in the Land, pt. 3- Azuza Street and the Jesus People

Today, there are more than 500 million Pentecostal and charismatic believers across the globe and it is the fastest-growing form of Christianity today. Most church historians agree that the events that took place at the Azusa Street Revival in 1906 in Los Angeles California are responsible for the beginning of what we know as the modern-day Pentecostal Movement. But what happened at Azuza street?

In the late 1960s/early 1970s, a movement began in California known as the “Jesus people”. Thousands of teenagers and young people came to faith in Christ, many of whom came from drugs, eastern mysticism, and the hippie subcultures of the west coast. The impact of the Jesus people movement is still felt today in mainstream American churches- from the birth of modern praise and worship music to the rise of more informal stylistic worship services. How did it all get started?

What can we learn from these both of these revivals? Can God do it again, and move in such a way in our generation?
