Pentecostal Collections

The most comprehensive collection of source materials ever produced including sermons, reports, letters and more.

Smith Wigglesworth was a straight-talking Yorkshire lad with little education, no training and no credentials, but he shook the earth with his miracle-producing faith. For four decades spectacular healings and deliverances followed his preaching of the Gospel in many nations of the world. Thousands were converted leaving new and revived churches everywhere he visited.

Never before has such a vast collection of Wigglesworth source materials been gathered together.

On the CD:
Every original sermon produced (237)
Every original report of meetings, conventions, healings etc. (330)
All known correspondence (59)
First-ever accurate timeline
Four complete books, two of sermons, a biography and a history of the New Zealand revival
Illustrated bibliography of every book, video and tape ever made about Wigglesworth.

This series of newspapers records the very inception of the Pentecostal outpouring at the beginning of the twentieth century. They record the events that occurred at Azusa Street, Los Angeles and across the United States, as they happened. These vibrant, first-hand accounts capture the excitement and passion of the early Pentecostal leaders like William J. Seymour, Charles Parham and Frank Bartleman. This CD ROM includes the first thirteen editions and are exact reproductions of the original text (even including spelling mistakes!) originally published by the Azusa Street Mission. In addition, we have included two further editions, Nos. 19 and 20, which were published from Portland Oregon and which have never been reproduced elsewhere. Mac and PC compatible.

'Confidence', the first official magazine of the early British Pentecostal Movement, covering the years 1908-1926, has now been digitised and transferred to a single CD-ROM. The 140 issues, containing more than 2,700 pages, tell the exciting story of the early growth of the Pentecostal Movement, not only in Britain but also in many other parts of the world. The teachings and ministry of many early Pentecostal pioneers like Alexander Boddy and Smith Wigglesworth are reported in these pages.

The Elim Evangel CD contains 9,600 pages of The (British) Elim Pentecostal Church's official magazine which began in December 1919. We have included all the editions up to December 1935 on these two CD ROM's. They contain testimonies and teachings from the most exciting period of Pentecostal growth in the UK. The amazing and miraculous campaigns of George Jeffreys are given extensive coverage and there are reports of some key events like the UK visit of Lewi Pethrus in 1924 and Aimee McPherson's two UK visits, including the Royal Albert Hall meetings in 1926 and 1928. The magazines are peppered with well-documented and dramatic healings, campaigns, church plantings and so forth.

The Assemblies of God of Great Britain and Ireland began their official magazine in July 1924 and we have included all the editions up to December 1939 on this CD ROM. Similar in content and style to the Elim Evangel they contain contributions and reports by Donald Gee, Smith Wigglesworth, Howard Carter, Lester Sumrall, J. Nelson Parr and a host of other Pentecostal pioneers. Particular reference is made to the powerful ministry and campaigns of Stephen Jeffreys. Many of the early magazines are so rare they are not available in the national collections at the British Library.

Flames of Fire 1911-1917

The Flames of Fire CD contain the little-known magazines, the main organ of the Pentecostal Missionary Union, which were published from October 1911 until the mid-20s. We have managed to secure all editions up to December 1917 and place them on a single CD ROM. They record the early British Pentecostals' missionary thrust into the Far East, particularly, India, China and Tibet. Cecil Polhill, one of the well-known Cambridge Seven, published them. Quite a number of other early Pentecostal ministries are reported here. If we can locate the remaining copies they will be added to the collection.The CD is ideal for researchers and students of Revival. It has been reproduced in .pdf format and can be used either by PC or MAC computers using the free Acrobat Reader. This format maximises the full potential of Acrobat's search facility making detailed subject research very simple and highly efficient.

This magazine was edited by Donald Gee (1891-1966) at the request of the World Pentecostal Conference in September 1946. Donald Gee was a widely respected Bible teacher who had wide experience as an editor and as the writer of many books. This periodical contains reports of Pentecostal activity from around the world. Gee began editing this paper at the time when Pentecostals from several different groups were seeking to meet on a regular basis with a view to working together while recognising the distinct contribution of each group.

In the later issues we see the emergence of the newer individuals and groups that were to be designated as "charismatic." Gee's own response to such a development makes this paper highly important and it needs to be read by anyone interested in the growth of the Pentecostal/Charismatic Movement. One of Donald Gee's first biographers writing of these editorials said they were, "the most openly honest and perceptive pages in all Pentecostal literature."
