How did Latino participants in the Azusa Street revival help spread Pentecostalism to Mexico?
Latino participants in the Azusa Street revival played a pivotal role in the expansion of Pentecostalism into Mexico. By taking part in the revival, these individuals helped transfer the movement across the border, which facilitated the development of a vital Spanish-speaking church movement in both Mexico and the southwestern United States.1
Following this initial spread, major organizations such as the Assemblies of God and the Church of God established large Spanish-language branches. Furthermore, completely new autonomous denominations were formed in Mexico and Puerto Rico. These groups served as a foundation for the movement to spread throughout the rest of Latin America, where it experienced significant growth in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.1
