Wikipedia's article on the Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa, community-edited. Reliable for the mission's founding chronology: John G. Lake and Thomas Hezmalhalch, both baptised in the Holy Spirit at the Azusa Street Mission, arrived in South Africa from Indianapolis in May 1908 with three companions, began ministry in Doornfontein, Johannesburg on 25 May 1908, convened their first organising committee in September 1908, and registered the mission as a legal entity only in 1913.
