• Notes

  Moved to Minnesota in 1887. Born in Canada in 1869, Awrey was an evangelist, Bible teacher, and later missionary. His family moved to Minnesota when he was a teen. After accepting salvation in a Methodist church at age 21, Awrey attended college in the holiness hotbed of Delaware, Ohio. He began to hunger for deeper spiritual experience while reading J. A. Wood's Perfect Love. On New Year's Eve in 1890, Awrey felt the "old man�" being rooted out of his heart, and during a prayer meeting the following evening he suddenly starting speaking in tongues after seeing a flame shoot toward his head. (Although there is no record of Awrey testifying to the later experience until after he embraced the Azusa Street revival in 1906.) As shadowy as he was intriguing, Awrey next appears in the standard pentecostal histories as a leader of the Fire-Baptized movement in Tennessee from 1898 to 1900. Then he drops off our radar scope again until he traveled in 1906 to Azusa Street,here he accepted the pentecostal message of Holy Ghost baptism as the true "third blessing"� and speaking in tongues as the invariable initial evidence of it. After several years of teaching this new light in California and Oklahoma, Awrey then carried the Azusa message around the world three times before succumbing in Liberia to fever in 1913.
