William J. Seymour was a Holiness Pentecostal preacher who initiated the Azusa Street Revival in Los Angeles in 1906. He preached a Pentecostal message that emphasized speaking in tongues as a sign of receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Seymour’s leadership of the revival and publication of The Apostolic Faith newspaper helped him gain prominence in the young Pentecostal movement. However, his efforts to expand the revival into a larger organization, the Apostolic Faith Movement, faced challenges due to power struggles with other ministers, resulting in a decline in his influence.
