The Pentecostal World Fellowship was founded in 1947 at
Zürich,
Switzerland, during a conference of
Pentecostal leaders. 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, every three years. In 2001, the conference in
Los Angeles,
California, was convened in celebration of the
Azusa Street Revival. In 2019,
William Wilson became Chairman of the organization. ==Conferences==
