Myrtle Beall
Myrtle Dorothea Monville Beall, sometimes M. D. Beall or Mom Beall (1896 - 1979) was an American Pentecostal leader. Born Myrtle Monville into a Roman Catholic family in Hubbell, Michigan, Beall converted to the Methodist Church upon her marriage. She went on to have three children. Later she moved to Detroit, where in the 1930s she experienced baptism of the Holy Spirit; she knelt in the kitchen of her home one day and promptly began speaking in tongues. Soon she opened a Sunday school, and later began the Bethesda Missionary Temple. Beall said that in 1939, God revealed plans to her to "built an armory" where "soldiers" could be prepared to do battle for Christianity. As a result, her church, which had contained 350 seats, was expanded to hold 3,000 instead. Beall began broadcasts from the Temple in the 1940s, and made it the center of the Latter Rain Movement. Her group split with the Assemblies of God in 1949. By the end of her career Beall could be heard speaking on radio bro ...

People From Houghton County, Michigan
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form " people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural f ...

Women Christian Clergy
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Thro ...
