Missionaries To Jerusalem

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This was a testimony given to, and recorded in the Azusa Street Mission newsletter in 1906, in Los Angeles, California.

A band of three missionaries, Bro. Andrew Johnson and Sisters Louisa Condit and Lucy M. Leatherman, who have been baptized with the Holy Ghost and received the gift of languages, have left for Jerusalem, going by way of Oakland, leaving there August 10th. Reports came of meetings on the way that four souls receive the Pentecost in Colorado Springs and three in Denver.  Brother Johnson has received seven different languages, One of which is the Arabic.

  Sister Leatherman speaks the Turkish language, And while in Oakland, some were talking on the street about the gift of tongues; Sister Leatherman began to speak just as a man wearing the Turkish fez came by. He listened and wonder and asked what college she had attended, saying she spoke the most perfect Turkish tongue he had ever heard spoken by foreigner.  He was an educated man from a Turkish college in Constantinople.  She told him the Holy Ghost gave her the language which she did not understand herself and he was the first person that had interpreted for her.
