The Three-Fold Vision<br />

Apostolic Faith Mission <strong>of</strong><br />

Portl<strong>and</strong>, Oregon<br />

The Apostolic Faith Mission <strong>of</strong> Portl<strong>and</strong>,<br />

Oregon, was founded in 1907. It had its beginning<br />

in the Latter Rain outpouring on Azusa<br />

Street in Los Angeles in 1906.<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the main doctrines are justification by<br />

faith which is a spiritual new birth, as Jesus told<br />

Nicodemus <strong>and</strong> as Martin Luther proclaimed in the<br />

Great Reformation; sanctification, a second definite<br />

work <strong>of</strong> grace; the Wesleyan teaching <strong>of</strong> holiness;<br />

the baptism <strong>of</strong> the Holy Ghost as experienced on<br />

the Day <strong>of</strong> Pentecost <strong>and</strong> again poured out at the<br />

beginning <strong>of</strong> the Latter Rain revival in Los Angeles.<br />

Mrs. Florence L. Crawford, who had received<br />

the baptism <strong>of</strong> the Holy Ghost in Los Angeles,<br />

brought this Latter Rain message to Portl<strong>and</strong> on<br />

Christmas Day 1906. It has spread to the world<br />

by means <strong>of</strong> literature which is still published<br />

<strong>and</strong> mailed everywhere without a subscription<br />

price. Collections are never taken in the meetings<br />

<strong>and</strong> the public is not asked for money.<br />

Camp meetings have been held annually in<br />

Portl<strong>and</strong>, Oregon since 1907, with delegations<br />

coming from around the world.<br />

Missionaries from the Portl<strong>and</strong> headquarters<br />

have established churches in Korea, Japan, the<br />

Philippines, Romania <strong>and</strong> many countries in Africa.<br />
