ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses how “Finished Work” Pentecostalism was glocalized in China under the auspices of the Assemblies of God (AG), amid ceaseless political turmoil. The AG was founded in 1914 in the United States and the General Council not only represented this denomination in the United States, but also “Pentecostal (Spirit Baptized) saints from local Churches of God in Christ, Assemblies of God, and various Apostolic Faith Missions and Churches, and Full Gospel Pentecostal Missions and Churches, and Full Gospel Pentecostal Missions and Assemblies of like faith in the United States, Canada and Foreign lands” as long as they followed the scripture to worship, maintain unity, and engage in ministry. Missionaries provided resources and the local engaged in preaching and ministering new churches. Local members and missionaries of the AG collaborated to establish charities, form regional councils, publish periodicals, and plant churches in rural and urban areas.
