HISTORY
FOUNDERS

God’s All Nations Pentecostal Revival Center was founded by the late Pastor Moses Anderson and Co-Pastor Marvella Anderson. The first gathering was Sunday School held June 28, 1964, at 1608 South Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, Illinois. Due to water leakage during services, it was necessary to relocate the ministry to 618 South Cicero. One night while heading to a funeral, they passed by the church and found it to be in flames. The organ and an amplifier were the only items salvaged from the fire. At that point, the founders no longer wanted to rent a space for services. They believed God to allow them to purchase a facility for church services. The ministry ultimately acquired our current location, 44 North Laramie, in September 1973, and the property was paid for under their leadership. In 1968, the church’s name was changed to God’s All Nations Pentecostal Church.
​
Pastor Moses Anderson and Co-Pastor Marvella Anderson were a husband-and-wife team who loved Jesus and had a special love for his people, which manifested in their servant-leadership approach. This ministry was established through prayer and fasting, and as they often reminded the congregation, it is the only way this ministry will survive and thrive. Many signs, miracles and wonders followed our founders. Through their faith in Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Ghost, they cast out many demons. They prayed over the sick, and the sick recovered. The wheelchair-bound walked. People were healed from cancer, arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure and many other illnesses. Pastor Moses Anderson was eventually elevated to the office of bishop over the God’s All Nations Pentecostal Churches, Incorporated.
​
On January 14, 1995, Bishop Moses Anderson, departed this life. But under Pastor Marvella Anderson’s leadership, the church continued to stand and flourish. She proclaimed that God had given her a dream, a sign that we were entering a new dispensation. With that revelation, the ultimate goal became more clearly to reach for souls. Even since the passing of Overseer Marvella Anderson on May 14, 2014, the ministry has continued in that endeavor.
