«Dr Hoover has been the most successful missionary in Chile»

A. B. Simpson

At last available in English, here is the historic first-hand account of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that changed a pastor, a church and then a nation.

The appearance of Willis Hoover’s History of the Pentecostal Revival in Chile in English is welcome news for the Christian world. First published in Spanish in Chile in 1930, it has long been the major historical source on the Chilean revival which began in the Methodist Church in 1909. Adding to the value of the book are the preface and personal memoir by Hoover’s grandson, Mario G. Hoover, who lived in his grandfather’s home during his last years. This book will now take its place as a major source for future researchers and writers who wish to know more about the explosive growth of Latin American Pentecostalism.

Without doubt, History of the Pentecostal Revival in Chile as translated by Mario G. Hoover represents a major gift to English-speaking peoples for the study of a noteworthy indigenous Pentecostal revival outside of Euro-America. Students of revivals and modern Pentecostalism… are all in his debt

Like his grandfather before him, Mario Hoover brings to his readers a unique testimony to what it was like to participe within Chilean Pentecostalism. He knew many of its early leaders, understands the nuances of life and experience that separated many of them from one another, and still manages to speak positively about them all
