Page "Faith healing" Paragraph 20

During the Azusa Street meetings, according to witnesses who wrote about them, blind, crippled or other sick people would be healed.

Some of the participants would eventually minister extensively in this area.

For example, John G. Lake was present during the years of the Azusa Street revival.

Lake had earned huge sums of money in the insurance business at the turn of the century but gave away his possessions with the exception of food for his children while he and his wife fasted on a trip to Africa to do missionary work.

Certain people he had never met before gave him money and keys to a place to stay which were required to enter South Africa at the dock.

His writings tell of numerous healing miracles he and others performed as over 500 churches were planted in South Africa.

Lake returned to the U. S. and set up healing rooms in Spokane, Washington.
