S.N. Haskell was born in 1833 in Ohio and was known as an early pioneer in the Pentecostal movement of the United States, referred to as the "Father of Pentecostalism". In 1870, he pioneered the Christian Missionary Association, an umbrella organization that formed the foundation of what is now known as Pentecostalism.
The New Light movement, which began around 1908, was a period of creative change that had a transformative effect on Pentecostalism. It was a response to both the Holiness movement of the late 19th century as well as increasing changes in broader American culture.
The Red River Revival was a major religious revival movement that occurred in the United States in the early 1800s and had a major impact on Pentecostalism. The revival was initiated by Circuit Riders, who traveled throughout the midwest and south, spreading the word of the gospel and encouraging those living in small, rural communities to convert to Christianity.
