The Pentecostal World Fellowship is a fellowship of Pentecostal churches and denominations from across the world. Its mission is to unite and mobilize the global Spirit-filled family in completing the Great Commission of Jesus.
The Pentecostal World Conference is held approximately triennially. The first conference was held in 1947 at Zürich, Switzerland. This meeting was organized by Swiss pastor Leonard Steiner, who was assisted by David du Plessis. Since then, the Conference has been conducted in various major cities around the world. In 2001, the conference in Los Angeles, California, was convened in celebration of the Azusa Street Revival.
Pentecostal organizations that subscribe to the PWF Statement of Faith may apply for membership, which is subject to the approval of the Advisory Committee of the Pentecostal World Fellowship.
