Lucy Farrow’s Mission to Africa
According to a report in issue 12 of The Apostolic Faith newspaper, she had arrived in Liberia and sent this report: “Our dear Sister Farrow, who was one of the first to bring Pentecost to Los Angeles, went to Africa and spent seven months at Johnsonville, 25 miles from Monrovia, Liberia, in that most deadly climate. She has now returned and has a wonderful story to tell. Twenty souls received their Pentecost, numbers were saved sanctified, and healed. “The Lord had given her the gift of the Kru language and she was permitted to preach two sermons to the people in their own tongue.
Ministry Highlights
The heathen, some of them after receiving the Pentecost, spoke in English and some in other tongues. Praise God. The Lord showed her when she went, the time she was to return and sent her the fare in time, brought her home safely, and used her in Virginia and in the South along the way.”
Return to America
In November 1907, she was back in America conducting services in an Apostolic Faith Mission in Littleton, North Carolina. In May 1908, she was in Los Angeles and we read this report in the final issue of The Apostolic Faith newspaper: “The Lord had baptized a number in the little faith cottage back of the Mission. He has used our dear Sister Farrow from Texas since the beginning of the outpouring of the Spirit in Los Angeles.
Passing
According to Estrelda Alexander, she returned to Houston, and within five years she contracted intestinal tuberculosis and died in February 1911.
