Centennial Notes

By Dr. Harold Hunter

Year: 1967
Affiliation signed with Pentecostal Methodist Church of Chile.


In the 1960s the Pentecostal Holiness Church began to branch out beyond the United States by affiliating with sister Pentecostal bodies in the Third World. This was done in addition to its traditional world mission efforts. In 1967 an affiliation was formed with the Pentecostal Methodist Church of Chile, one of the largest national Pentecostal churches in the world. At the time, the Jotabeche Pentecostal Methodist congregation was the largest church in the world with over 60,000 members.

Today this congregation is in second place despite the fact that it has grown to number 150,000 members. In 1985 the Pentecostal Methodist Church of Chile claimed no less than 1.2 million members and adherents.
