| Summary: | Minnie F. Abrams served as a missionary in India from 1887 to her untimely death in 1912. A leader in the 1905–1906 spiritual awakening in that country, she trained and promoted women evangelists. She also wrote the popular The Baptism of the Holy Ghost & Fire to promote the need for a post-conversionary experience of purification and empowerment for effective evangelism. Abrams was the most prominent of the veteran missionaries who moved from the women's missionary movement through the ranks of the holiness movement to Pentecostalism. Her long association with schools and charitable institutions and her intense desire to evangelize unreached peoples modeled a Pentecostal adaptation of “Woman's Work for Woman.” |
