Ever Increasing Faith

Smith Wigglesworth was born to a very poor family. At the age of six he had to go to work. As a consequence he never learned to read well until he was an adult. He became a plumber by trade. As a minister Wigglesworth was hardly known outside of his hometown until 1907. In 1907 he received the baptism in the Holy Ghost which changed his life forever. It was then at the age of 48 that God moved Wigglesworth from a small relatively unknown ministry to conducting powerful meetings throughout the world stirring the faith of thousands to receive healing and salvation. Wigglesworth would usually conclude a sermon by praying for the sick; regardless of what text he had ministered. Smith Wigglesworth's ministry centred on salvation for the unconverted healing for the sick and a call to believers to be baptized in the Holy Ghost. He was filled with God...with love compassion and faith. On March 12 1947 Smith Wigglesworth in perfect health closed his eyes and slipped into eternity at the age of 87.
