Effects Of The Azusa Street Revival
The Azusa Street revival also brought women’s ministries to the forefront. One of the most influential ladies at Azusa Street was Jennie Evans Moore, who married William Seymour in 1908. She served faithfully at his side during the great revival days and often filled the pulpit while her husband was away.
After her husband’s death in 1922, she pastored the church until 1931. She died in 1936.
Other African-American women who played leading roles were Lucy Farrow and Julia Hutchins. Farrow, Seymour’s prayer warrior, prayed hundreds of seekers through to the tongues experience. She later led a missionary band to Liberia where she planted Pentecostal churches.
Julia Hutchins, who had locked Seymour out of her church, soon became a Pentecostal
