Continued Reports from Africa
In the fifth issue, (January 1907) of The Apostolic Faith newspaper mention is again made of the team, including Sister Hutchins, after they had just sailed for Africa in the latter part of December. In the report back to Azusa, they ask for the prayers of the saints in Los Angeles: “Pray for us, dear ones, as we reach our field of labor. We overcome through the precious Blood. May we all keep humble and filled with the Spirit. We must now say goodbye, but we are not far separated in Christ.”
Ministry in Monrovia
In the seventh issue (April 1907) of The Apostolic Faith newspaper, a final reference is made about Sister Hutchins and the missionary team who are in Monrovia actively involved in leading people into the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The message from the team is dated March 26, 1907: “We opened a ten-day meeting in a schoolhouse, and on the tenth night, the Lord came in mighty power. Two were baptized with the Holy Spirit and spoke in tongues. Ten here have received sanctification, and five are filled with the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues.
Outreach to Africans
“A brother and his household have been baptized with the Holy Spirit. God has called him to the ministry and he will be baptized Sunday the 30th of March. We have been holding meetings going on three months. The Lord is sending a crowd of African natives to the meeting and He is working wonderfully with them. The house is filled with the natives every service and they are being saved and sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit and healed of all manner of diseases. The Lord surely is working with the native Africans of this land. All the saints send love.”
