Jennie Evans Moore

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

Here is the amazing witness of a beautiful saint.


Jennie Evans Moore Seymour is reported as the first woman in Los Angeles to speak in tongues. Jennie left Texas and found work in Los Angeles as a servant. Later she became a cook for an influential white family and lived at 217 North Bonnie Brae Street. Jennie lived across the street and regularly attended the meetings William Seymour was holding at Richard and Ruth Asberry's home at 214 North Bonnie Brae Street. When Jennie received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, she spoke in six different languages. 

Never playing the piano before, she went to the piano and began to play under the anointing while singing in tongues. She also began attending the revival meetings at 312 Azusa Street. She married Seymour on May 13, 1908. The congregation at Azusa Street continued meeting until William Seymour's death on September 28, 1922. Jennie took over the leadership of the church. She continued meetings with the faithful in her home on Bonnie Brae Street until her health deteriorated. She died on July 2, 1936.
