Smith Wigglesworth

Smith Wigglesworth was one of the most prominent evangelists with a healing ministry at the beginning of the Pentecostal movement. Yet few people knew him outside his town in northern England until he was forty-eight years old – that is, until 1907, when he was baptized in the Holy Spirit.

Smith ran his own plumbing business and helped his wife in a small evangelical mission. She did the preaching until his baptism in the Holy Spirit, and then he began to preach with incredible boldness. People who heard him came under deep conviction, and the sick were healed.

For the next forty years he held meetings for the salvation and healing of people around the world. He helped the Pentecostal movement become established in New Zealand and Australia, and he also became a well-known speaker in Europe and North America.

To this day Smith Wigglesworth continues to bless and inspire new generations of believers.
