In this story I will continue to share the story of a woman named Aimee Semple McPherson. She lived from 1890 - 1944.
In 1922, Aimee established her permanent ministry centre, Angelus Temple, in Los Angelos. It grew quickly into a significant operation. On 1 January 1923, she dedicated the 5300-seat auditorium. She preached every night and 3 times on Sundays to capacity crowds.
In 1927 Aimee opened the Angelus Temple Commissary which was replenished each Sunday as the people brought food or clothing for distribution to the needy.
Aimee opened as well a prayer tower where volunteers spend 2 hours prayer shifts, 24 hours a day, and where telephone counsellors offered round-the-clock spiritual and practical help.
Aimee, furthermore, mobilised soul-winning endeavours, instituted a free employment bureau and parole committee, and conducted summer camps in Bible conferences.
