The Malayalam District Council (MDC) of the South India Assemblies of
God is a fellowship of Pentecostal believers who lay great emphasis on
Holy Spirit Baptism after the manner of the experience of the Apostolic
Church described in the second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. This
new Pentecostal revival that appeared at the turn of the twentieth
century has penetrated the Christian Church globally. Believers who
experienced salvation and fullness of the Holy Spirit discovered a divine
solidarity among them and pledged to be united in worship, fellowship,
scriptural instruction, and ministry. This gave birth to the General
Council of the Assemblies of God in the United States of America in the
year 1914, at Hot Springs, Arkansas. This Pentecostal fire spread all over
the world, including India. The Assemblies of God work in In India is
spread throughout India in three Regional Councils, South India
Assemblies of God, Assemblies of God of North India, Assemblies of God
of East India.
