Her ministry style was a model for Pentecostalism[1] and the later Charismatic movement, earning her the title "Mother of Pentecost" in some circles.[2]
Life
Woodworth-Etter was born in New Lisbon, Columbiana County, Ohio in 1844, as Mariah Beulah Underwood; the fourth daughter of Samuel and Matilda Underwood.
Despite her first name often spelled as Maria, it was pronounced Ma-ri-ah.
Her father Samuel was an alcoholic and her family was often in poverty. Neither of her parents were religious and she was not exposed to church until her teen years.[3] When she was eleven, in 1855, her father died and she was forced to work in order to help provide for her family.[4] She became born again at the beginning of the Third Great Awakening at the age of thirteen.
