Acknowledgements
For a volume of this size and diversity, there are many people to thank. First, we wish to thank William Kay and Mark Cartledge, Global Pentecostal and Charismatic Studies Series editors, for their wisdom and assistance with this project.
Further, credit goes to our respective institutions, Alphacrucis College, Australia, and Assemblies of God Theological Seminary at Evangel University, Springfield, Missouri, usa for fostering the research of global Pentecostalism. Without their collective vision and support during this journey, the project would not have come to completion.
Thanks also goes to the dedication of institutions that are committed to preserving Pentecostal archives around the world. This volume particularly draws on the following collections: Asia Pacific Research Center of Asia Pacific Theological Seminary, Baguio, Philippines; Australasian Pentecostal Studies Centre of Alphacrucis College, Sydney, Australia; and Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center at Springfield, Missouri, usa.
We would also like to express our gratitude for the many – too many to name – who contributed in various stages of this project from those dreaming, discussing, and suggesting possible contributors to the authors themselves, reviewers and editors. Without all of their assistance, this volume would not have happened. However, special acknowledgment must be given to Courtney Hodson for her assistance in indexing.
Finally, we gratefully acknowledge our families for their patience and encouragement throughout this journey.
Denise A. Austin, Jacqueline Grey and Paul W. Lewis
