Early life
Asa A. Allen’s early life was lived in an often unpleasant environment. Having
been born to a white and an Indian parent, his family was very poor, and
his father was an alcoholic. At theage of 23, Allen became a Christian at
the Onward Methodist Church in Miller,[3] Missouri. Later, he learned of the
Baptism of the Holy Spirit from a Pentecostal preacher who was conducting meetings in
his home. He soon felt the call to preach and affiliated himself with the Assemblies of
God, subsequently obtaining ordination from them in 1936. He then began to pastor a
small church in Colorado. By 1947, Allen was pastoring a large Assemblies of God
church in Corpus Christi, Texas.
After attending an Oral Roberts tent meeting in Dallas, Texas, in 1949, Allen testified God's General - A A Allen American Pentecostal evangelist (1911–1970) This article is about the US Pentecostal evangelist and faith healer. For the British entomologist, see Anthony Adrian Allen. Asa Alonso Allen (March 27, 1911 – June 11, 1970), better known as A. A. Allen, was an American Pentecostalevangelist known for his faith healing and deliverance ministry. He was, for a time, associated with the "Voice of Healing" movement founded by Gordon Lindsay. Allen died of alcoholism and liver failure in a coma at the age of 59 in San Francisco, California, and was buried at his ministry headquarters in Miracle Valley, Arizona. A. A. Allen's early life was lived in an often unpleasant environment. Having been born of mixed race to white and Native American parents, his family was very poor and his father was an alcoholic. At the age of 23, Allen became a Christian at the Onward Methodist Church in Miller, Missouri. Later, he learned of the Baptism with the Holy Spirit from a Pentecostal preacher who was conducting meetings in his home. Allen soon felt the call to preach and affiliated himself with the Assemblies of God, subsequently obtaining ordination from them in 1936. He then began to pastor a small church in Colorado. By 1947, Allen was pastoring a large Assemblies of God church in Corpus Christi, Texas. After attending a tent revival meeting hosted by Oral Roberts in 1949, Allen testified that as he left that meeting he hoped to form a divine healing ministry. Allen asked his church board to allow him to start a radio program, but they refused. Allen soon resigned from his church and began holding healing revival meetings. Stemming in part from many reported healings, Allen established a large following. He became one of the first ministers to develop a national television ministry, which frequently included excerpts from his "healing line" ministry.

Allen in Cuba (From the Carver Healing Collection) One of the most fascinating collections in the archives of B.L. Fisher Library is the Carver Healing Collection, which encompasses a large amount of material on various Pentecostal healing ministries, primarily from 1955 to 1994. One of the largest segments of this collection is devoted to the work of Asa Alonso Allen (1911-1970), a controversial figure in the faith healing movements of the 1950’s and 1960’s.1 Born in poverty in Sulphur Rock, Arkansas, he was converted by a woman evangelist in a small Methodist church in 1934 and went on to be ordained in the Assemblies of God as a pastor in 1936.2 By 1947 he was pastor in an Assemblies of God church in Corpus Christi, Texas. After hearing Oral Roberts speak in a Dallas tent meeting and seeing the miracles that occurred, he left the pastorate for full-time evangelism. He purchased a large tent and proceeded to hold tent revivals and healing services around the country. Allen mentored both R.W. Shambach and Don Stewart, and was connected early on to Gordon Lindsay’s Voice of Healing movement. A.A. Allen (right) preaching, with Luis M.

He ended up leaving the state and forfeiting his bail instead of standing trial, although he held that he was innocent and that the devil was trying to destroy his ministry. The Assemblies of God and Gordon Lindsay withdrew their support of Allen. Allen formed his own ministry, Miracle Revival Fellowship, and began publishing Miracle Magazine, often calling on Pentecostal churches to be independent of denominations.3 He purchased the revival tent used by Jack Coe after Coe’s death in 1956 and ult

Marriage : September 19, 1936.
Children : 4Night after night, the waves of Divine Glory so
sweep over the congregation that many testify of

Asa Alonzo Allen was perhaps one of the most
important revivalists to emerge during the Voice of
Healing revival. He was certainly the most
sensational of his time, and not surprisingly drew a
great deal of criticism and controversy. But all told,
he was faithful to pursue God’s call on his life and
as a result ushered a mighty move of the Spirit that
swept the nation with powerful miracles, signs and
wonders. In a time when the impact of other healing
evangelists was diminishing, Allen was gathering
momentum. Throughout the 1950’s, and into the
1960’s, Allen built a far-reaching worldwide ministry
