Introduction

Anointed for Revival gives a brief overview of the history of some powerful moves of God's Spirit including the story of the birth and beginning Christian Outreach Centre in Brisbane, Australia.

It has been compiled from the work of staff and students in the Diploma program of the School of Ministries of Christian Outreach Centre in 1995. Most articles are adapted from work done in the courses on the History of the Pentecostal and Charismatic Movement and the History of Revivals.

Anne Chapple writes of the birth of Christian Outreach Centre and John Thorburn also describes it beginnings. Both describe the pioneering work of Clark Taylor.

Four articles summarise the work of Pentecostal pioneers who were also instrumental in founding churches and movements this century. Liz Godschalk tells of John G. Lake's ministry at the beginning of the century. Geoff Thurling outlines the ministry of Aimee Semple McPherson. Grant Lea describes T. L. Osborn's life and work. Peter Allen comments on David Yonggi Cho of Korea, pastor of the world's largest church.

The book concludes with a brief overview by Geoff Waugh of the astounding outpourings of the Spirit of God, especially in this century and particularly in the last decade.

Our prayer is that you will be blessed and inspired to move in faith into your place in God's great harvest.
