G. Ward’s message on the Pentecostal experience at the Bethany Church in Kitchener in 1908, over 100 clergy and laypeople left the Mennonite Brethren in Christ to join the emerging Pentecostal movement. Among the defectors were George Chambers, Solomon Eby, Sarah Pool, and John T. Ball. The following year, A. G. Ward held a meeting at a Mennonite Camp in Dickson Hill, Ontario, in an attempt to unite the Pentecostal people under the P.M.U. - the Pentecostal Missionary Union out of England. Alexander Boddy, a P.M.U. leader from England even attended the camp meeting. However, Ellen Hebden remained opposed to any form of Pentecostal organization, believing that any organization would limit the free leading of the Holy Spirit. The organization of Pentecostal people would wait another 10 years before the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada was officially chartered. It is plausible that A. G. Ward’s preaching of Pentecost at the Bethany Mennonite Brethren in Christ Church in Kitchener in 1908 was the catalyst for the organizational movement of Pentecostal people in Canada.

Chambers was a Mennonite Brethren in Christ pastor in Guelph, Ontario, then later in Toronto, where he openly opposed Ellen Hebden’s Pentecostal revival. Following his baptism in the Holy Spirit, he apologized to Ellen Hebden, then Chambers led a Pentecostal mission at 375 Parliament St., in Toronto. Chambers then pastored a Pentecostal church in Elkland, Pennsylvania. He later returned to Canada in 1912 to pastor a work in Vineland, Ontario.

A fine depiction of urban life in early Toronto, it is considered to be one of the finest pieces of Canadian Art held by the Hudson's Bay Company.

Clarence L. Cross, a local 17-year-old boy, joined them in 1906 and served as pastor of the Sand Bay assembly for over 25 years. A oneness pastor, Cross is pictured prominently in the Milles Roches photograph when Pentecostal leaders met at Fred Young’s Farmhouse in 1917 to plan the chartering of The Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. The Sand Bay house meetings are the earliest known Pentecostal meetings in Canada.

Charles S. Price (1887-1947) held daily (and often twice-daily) evangelistic meetings and faith-healing services at the Denman Arena in Vancouver. Frank Patrick, owner of the Arena, had this to say about the Price crowd: “[T]he evangelistic party addressed over a quarter of a million people in the space of three weeks. On more than one occasion, I could feel the very building tremble with the singing of the multitude who were unable to wait for the opening hymn.”
