The gospel of Jesus transcended every boundary of time, space, culture and language. It was spread over the world. The Word prevailed, but not because of television, radio or mass media of any kind. The Word prevailed because it was alive in the hearts of men and women who followed Jesus.

— T. L. Lowery (1929–2016), Geistlicher, Zelt- und Heilungsevangelist, Pastor

T. L. Lowery

Thomas Lanier Lowery (1929–2016) war ein US-amerikanischer Evangelist und leitender Geistlicher der pfingstkirchlichen Church of God. Er prägte die Nachkriegszeit mit überregionalen Zelt- und Heilungsversammlungen, stand jedoch auch wegen seiner frühen Verteidigung der Rassentrennung sowie der späteren Förderung umstrittener Visionsberichte in der Kritik. Für heutige Bibelleser steht sein Werk exemplarisch für die klassische amerikanische Pfingstbewegung mit ihrer starken Betonung von Bekehrung, Gebet und Geisteswirken.
