Joseph A. Warren

The Apostolic Faith (September 1906) says that Joseph A. Warren was sent from Houston along with William J. Seymour and Lucy Farrow as "messengers of the Full Gospel." Charles F. Parham sent Seymour first, in Feburary, and Warren and Lucy Farrow followed shortly after.

Warren had a wonderful testimony of God's healing power. He said, "I had suffered two years from chills and fever and could never get rid of them. I was down with them, when it was told to me that the Lord would heal us and wanted to do it without the help of medicine, so I made up my mind that I would not have another chill; that the Lord would heal me. My chill was to come on about seven o'clock in the morning. It started to come and I was about to call my people to put more cover over me, when I thought how I had taken the Lord for my healer. So I got up and dressed and would not let the devil bring a chill on me, but prepared for breakfast. When the ice wagon came along and my little grandchild called my attention to it, I started to say, 'No, I will not take ice for this is my chill day.' (I was in the habit of taking ice only on the day I had fever). Then I stopped myself and said, 'Yes, I will take ice,' and I drank ice water all day. I was healed and in two months had gained about twenty-five pounds in flesh."

We have more biographical material on Joseph A. Warren and it will be added soon. Check back.
