The 1947-1957 Healing Revival was one of the most powerful and fruitful moves of God in Christian history. Participants defined it as “a signs-gifts-healing, salvation-deliverance, Holy Ghost miracle revival.” A more recent historian says it was “the most extensive public display of miraculous power in modern history.”
Despite extreme criticism and controversy, its effects were astounding. Pentecostalism was revitalised, a new wave of evangelistic initiatives circled the globe, reaping tens of thousands of new converts and the multi-facetted charismatic movement was birthed.
The primary offshoot of the Healing Revival was the The Latter Rain Movement in Canada which in turn, led to the charismatic, restoration and prophetic movements which swept through the entire world.
Today the world-wide Pentecostal/charismatic community numbers over 550 million members and is the fastest growing branch of the Christian church across the nations.
