Among all the men and women responsible for spreading Pentecostalism worldwide, few were as successful and well-respected as American evangelist John G. Lake. Lake was the organizer and leader of the Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM), which played a crucial role in converting a large number of people in South Africa. Using the AFM as a platform, Lake also propagated the Zionist doctrines of Illinois cult leader John Alexander Dowie. In 1992, Pentecostal historian Allan Anderson suggested that nearly half of Southern African Christians were adherents of Lake’s Pentecostal and Zionist beliefs.

Lake was apparently baptized in the Holy Spirit, according to Pentecostal faith, in October 1907, and was one of the original Pentecostal evangelists who knew William Seymour personally. Like many of the original leaders of the movement who visited Azusa Street, Lake gained overnight respect from all who were seeking the same blessing, and became known to many Pentecostals as a hero of the faith. His legacy has been immortalized through the work of leaders in the New Apostolic Reformation. Books such as God’s Generals portray Lake as a man whose mission was inspired by God Himself.

But are these portrayals of John G. Lake accurate? Was his mission to South Africa the result of Lake’s alleged baptism in the Holy Spirit? To find out, we must first examine how Lake initially came into contact with the Apostolic faith during an unusual and long-forgotten event in history.
