AZUZA STREET CENTENNIEL

Largest One –Day Benevolence Outreach in US History Planned for April 29, 2006

Excitement and energy continue to build as we enter the final month before the Azusa Street Centennial. One dramatic development that is unfolding in preparation for the Centennial is a plan for the largest one day benevolence outreach ever. REACH LA will be a cooperative effort to impact Los Angeles significantly for Christ on Saturday morning, April 29, 2006. Thirty outreach locations across Los Angeles are planned where people will receive food and hygiene assistance. Feed The Children, led by Larry Jones and the Dream Center in Los Angeles, led by Tommy and Matthew Barnett, are joining to lead this outreach. A host of supporting ministries will also assist in this powerful morning of blessings. Operation Compassion in Cleveland is serving to help coordinate this effort along with the Centennial office. They are also planning to assist in feeding those who attend the Centennial Assembly and International Youth Convocation from the outreach sites.

Los Angeles 1906 ~ A New Pentecost

Los Angeles, California, was a popular destination at the turn of the twentieth century for many Americans dreaming of greater opportunities and purpose. By 1906 this city was quickly becoming a major hub of activity. In April of that year two events focused the world’s attention on Los Angeles: The city was impacted by an earthquake that also devastated San Francisco, and services conducted in a small holiness mission on Azusa Street birthed spiritual renewal globally. Thousands of individuals converged on the city to attend the revival at Azusa Street’s mission, where they found a renewed purpose and passion in serving Jesus Christ and were commissioned to share the message of His love and power with others. Almost a century later, the activities of the renowned Azusa Street outpouring in Los Angeles are hailed as one of the greatest events in Christian history. Today, Pentecostal and Charismatic believers throughout the world reflect on the significance of Azusa Street in their spiritual heritage and development.
