A.A. ALLEN DON STEWART
Great men appear now and again to help shape the course of human history. The history of their lives may not of itself amount to the totality of the history of man. It nevertheless serves to illuminate that history and unravel the course of human events.
DON STEWART A,A, ALLEN
A.A. ALLEN ( 1911-1970)
Born in Sulphur, Ark. in 1911, he grew up with poverty, hard work, a heavy-drinking father, and a mother who lived with several different men. His life took a dramatic turn when he was filled with Ghost in 1934 and he was shortly thereafter launched into his preaching ministry through the Assemblies of God church. Bringing revival during the Great Depression was tough for an evangelist, but God’s grace and A. A. Allen’s inner fortitude empowered him to keep preaching the Good News.
- He was one of the ten most influential ministers in the world.
- He is the author of more than fifty books, covering every phase of faith - Christian Living - Healing - Demonology.
- He was a minister who dared to break away from the tradition of the elders to preach the same message that Jesus preached.
- It has been said that beyond a doubt, A. A. Allen had prayed the prayer of faith for the healing and deliverance of more people than any other known evangelist alive in the world today.
- News headline of the Atlantic Constitution, dated May 5, 1969, "The Hottest Faith Healer in America Since Oral Roberts . . . “
- According to TIME Magazine in an article dated March 7, 1969, this evangelist is probably the best known so called "Faith Healer” in the nation today.
- He was a man who fasted and prayed until he met God, and received not only power and authority over all sickness but power to cast out devils as well.
- He was a recognized authority on demon oppression and possession. It was said that he cast out more demons than any other minister in the world today.
This article is an excerpt from the July 1969 issue of the MIRACLE MAGAZINE and was updated for our use.
- Many times, thousands answered a single altar call following Rev. Allen's preaching. It has been safely estimated that in the extremely close schedule (almost nightly) more sinners were genuinely born again in his services than in any other campaigns in the world. Bro. Allen strove to fulfill Christ's Great Commission through daily broadcasts, weekly telecasts, sermon record albums, personal ministering (sometimes three or more times a day), published sermons in tracts, books, and Miracle Magazines. At the height of his ministry Miracle Magazine had more than 340,000 subscribers.
- He was probably the first to preach to multitudes the great message, "Power to Get Wealth, How You Can Have It." God gave him the ministry of delivering people from the demons of poverty and bestowing the blessing of prosperity. He preached the great revelation that God wants His people to prosper, and has promised His children the "Riches of the Gentiles!"
- He was the Founder and President of Miracle Revival Fellowship, an international Pentecostal fellowship of approximately 15,000 ministers and planted more than 400 churches
- From 1958 to 1970 Bro. Allen was Chairman of the board of Directors of A. A. Allen Revivals, Inc. with headquarters in Miracle Valley, Arizona, the fastest growing revival camp meeting center in the world.
- A. A. Allen was the Founder and President of Miracle Valley Bible College in Miracle Valley, Arizona and of Miracle Revival Bible College in the Philippines.
- He was one of the few preachers to ever leave an organized denomination and continue to be successful in an international ministry as an independent or nondenominational minister, exposing the sins of denominationalism.
- He was no doubt the first evangelist on a national and international scale to preach integration to mixed multitudes in both the North and the South and be successful in integrating the races in worship under his huge gospel tent. It has been declared by leaders that the Allen Campaigns and his preaching have done more to make all "one" than any other single effort in the nation or world. Believers worshiped, sang, and shouted together. All new converts were baptized in the huge baptistery under the tent.
- He had one of the world's leading evangelistic parties. Rev. Allen was the organizer of the Pool of Bethesda Faith Clinic, where the sick and afflicted came to obtain dynamic faith teaching for healing and deliverance.
UPON HIS DEATH IN 1990 THE MANTLE OF HIS ANOINTING AND LEADERSHIP FELL ON EVANGELIST DON STEWART.
DON STEWART
“Since A.A. Allen’s death and his own ascension, Don’s fast becoming the hottest gospeler on The Trail. He’s been raising up Jesus in huge tumults in Chicago and all over the south, even in England. He’s been zapping sinners and harvesting souls and performing… miracles. Billy Graham’s still on the job. Oral Roberts has endowed his own University in Tulsa, and there are quite a few others, but right now the Man from Miracle Valley is the hottest evangelist on the Hallelujah Trail.”--Rolling Stone
The story of Don Stewart’s life and ministry is the story of a modern miracle. Don Stewart was born on October 25, 1939 at the Yavapai County Hospital in Prescott, Arizona. His mother, Beulah, was 40 years old at the time, and was in danger of dying as she gave birth. The doctors also feared for the baby's life when a man walked into the room. The man put a prayer cloth on Beulah and said, “You shall live and not die, and the child you shall bear shall be a chosen vessel.” The stranger left the room and was never seen again, but he would have a profound effect on Don’s life and calling.
Don first witnessed God’s miracle power as a young child. Raised in Clarkdale, Arizona, he was the youngest of six children, and the family was poor. When Don was about four years old, the family goat, which provided the milk the children drank, got sick and seemed to be dying. Don’s mother and father knelt down, anointed the goat with oil, and prayed a simple but sincere prayer for God to heal the goat. Almost immediately, the goat jumped up and began to run around the yard!
Don was already learning the power of faith when, at age 13, he was struck with a crippling bone disease in his hip joints. After two years and four major operations, doctors still could not give him hope that he would ever be able to walk without crutches again. But God miraculously healed Don when he was 15 years old and called him into the ministry. It was a miracle that would change the direction of his life forever.
As a teenager, Don read the Bible, prayed, and listened to revivals on the radio. He was particularly drawn to A. A. Allen’s ministry and the testimonies of other people healed by God’s supernatural power. After high school, Don went to work for Rev. Allen, pounding tent stakes at revivals. Rev. Allen quickly recognized the awesome power of the Holy Spirit working within Don and mentored him, and soon Don was preaching to people in crowded tents and standing-room-only auditoriums with Rev. Allen.
For 50 years, Don Stewart has spread the Gospel and shared the message of God’s supernatural power with people in over 85 countries on six continents. From bamboo huts to presidential palaces, from open fields to some of the largest coliseums in the world, Don Stewart has delivered God’s message of love and healing to millions of hurting people. Thrilling testimonies of deliverance from all kinds of disease, sickness, and spiritual oppression are experienced in Don Stewart’s international crusade services. Hundreds of churches have been planted out of his revivals, and thousands of pastors, churches, and Christian workers are part of his global fellowship.
Don Stewart’s television program, “Power & Mercy,” is broadcast seven days a week to millions of homes in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Africa, and the Philippines.
Because of Don’s belief in the power of God’s word and the anointing surrounding his mother at his birth, Don offers his congregation and television viewers a free Green Prosperity Prayer Handkerchief. He believes that the cloth, a handkerchief that he has personally prayed over, blessed, and anointed, is a Touch Point of Hope to help people release their faith and reap God’s blessings in their lives.
