Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc.
History of the Texas State Council

In early 1900, persons who had enjoyed the Pentecostal experience traveled from Indiana to Houston, Texas. They came to preach and teach holiness, and many in Houston accepted Jesus as their Savior. Many of the Houston saints had relatives who lived in San Antonio to whom they witnessed, and who received the Word and were saved. Those saints from Houston were invited to San Antonio where the gospel was preached and spread like wild fire. Bishop G. T. Haywood, the presiding bishop of the newly formed Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, was asked to send a minister to San Antonio to baptize the new converts.
