| Webmaster's note: The compilation of historical facts presented here are in no way an attempt to promote Black Pride or C.O.G.I.C. Pride. Quite to the contrary, references to the ethnicity of Pioneers in the Pentecostal movement is only stated for the purpose of showing how God used those who were regarded as insignificant, but yet were humble and hungry for his Spirit, to be the platform from which he launched this "pentecostal rebirth" to the world. The intent here is to show how Humility was a prerequisite for revival. -Robert L. Harris |
