This document provides biographical information on key figures in the early Pentecostal movement and their roles in spreading Pentecostalism in the early 20th century. It discusses Evan Roberts and the Welsh Revival, Charles Parham and the speaking in tongues at Bethel Bible School, William Seymour and the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles, and five key characteristics of the Azusa Street Revival including a hunger for God, love across barriers, commitment to Scripture, evangelism, and restoring the New Testament church.
![Eyewitness Report
“Soon the meetings were running day and night. The place
was packed out nightly…. There were far more white
people than colored coming. The ‘color line’ was washed
away in the blood [of Christ]…. The Spirit was very
sensitive, tender as a dove…. We knew the moment we had
grieved the Spirit, by an unkind thought or word.
“… Brother Seymour generally sat behind two empty shoe
boxes, one on top of the other. He usually kept his head
inside the top one during the meeting, in prayer. There
was no pride there. The services ran almost continuously.
Seeking souls could be found under the power almost any
hour, night and day. The place was never closed or empty.
The people came to meet God.”](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/slidesforsession9-120524220226-phpapp02/85/Slides-for-Session-9-A-Fuse-Is-Lit-9-320.jpg)

When she tried to write in English to tell us her experience, she wrote in Chinese, copies of which we still have in newspapers printed at the time.” --Charles Parham
