Our Church

The old church building

Word Alive Revival Center, Wiggins, MS.

Apostolic Revival began as a trickle of hope, when a small work was begun in 1930 by Rev. Wesley Williams, brother of Sis. Beatrice Prine, and Bro. Rufus Cobb. What had begun under an oak tree in Bond was relocated in an old shotgun style house converted to a church. It was conveniently furnished with pews and a "pot belly" stove and an atmosphere of old fashioned Oneness Pentecostal worship!

The trickle of hope soon transformed into a strong stream of faithful saints, as God complimented their prayerful effors wtih many souls praying through to the Holy Ghost and becoming "Children of the Light". During those years, there weren't too many families in Bond and Wiggins that weren't touched by the efforts of the Pentecostal movement. Two Sunday School classes were added to the original structure to accomodate the newly founded Sunday School and the shutters were replaced with real windows. Then land was secured at a new location for $420.00 and the new building was built to house the growing number. It served as home for the next thirty-two years. And revival continued!

Because of the great rains of Holy Ghost revival, the stream has progressed into a rewarding river! As with every living organism, growth is necessary to sustain life. And on August 18, 1996, we moved to this spacious present location in hope that the rains of revival will inundate us! As we look forward in faith, we are seeing the silhouette of a great sea of salvation for Wiggins!
