Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa
- Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa
The Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa was founded by Thomas Hezmalhalch and John G. Lake, Pentecostal missionaries from the USA.
Lake had been influenced by the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion founded by John Alexander Dowie, and also by the Pentecostal Azusa Street Revival in California. He made contact with the Wakkerstroom Zionists led by Pieter L le Roux, and many of them joined the Apostolic Faith Mission. After Lake had returned to America le Roux became the leader, and held the leadership for 30 years.
