Pentecostal Evangel
Pentecostal Evangel was the official weekly magazine of the General Council of the Assemblies of God in the United States. It reached about 200,000 readers each week worldwide and offered inspirational stories, biblical teaching, devotionals, Christian news, and discussion pieces. Its offices were in Springfield, Missouri.
It began in 1913 as The Christian Evangel, started by J. Roswell and Alice Flower to report revivals and mission work, even before the Assemblies of God formed. It was also known as The Weekly Evangel from 1915 to 1919 while the headquarters were in St. Louis. When the headquarters moved to Springfield, the Christian Evangel name returned. From 2002 to 2009 it was published as Today’s Pentecostal Evangel. In November 2014, the magazine announced it would stop printing at the end of the year and switch to an online version at penews.org. The magazine published its 5,000th edition on March 7, 2010.
Nine times a year, the Evangel joined with the Assemblies of God World Missions Department to publish a World Missions Edition, offering news and stories from the church’s global missions. This edition replaced the separate Mountain Movers magazine.
