Who Was A. A. Allen? Miracle Valley and His Arizona Revival Ministry

A. A. Allen (1911–1970), whose full name was Asa Alonso Allen, was an American healing evangelist. Miracle Valley, Arizona, became a base for his ministry and appears throughout the films and printed material his organization produced.

From traveling meetings to a home base

A traveling campaign depends on what can be brought into a town and packed up again. A base can support training, correspondence, production, and meetings over a longer period. Allen’s association with Miracle Valley makes the place a useful way to study how revival ministries built organizations around itinerant evangelists.

What the archives show

Asbury Theological Seminary preserves documentaries and footage associated with Allen. A film called This Is Miracle Valley gives viewers the ministry’s own presentation of the campus. Its camera angles and editing communicate what the organization wanted viewers to notice. For a wider picture, compare film with the printed publications cataloged by the Flower Pentecostal Heritage Center. The film and print records establish what the ministry communicated, while specific testimony claims call for separate evidence.

Revival after the meeting

Acts 2 describes people continuing in teaching, fellowship, prayer, and material care after Pentecost. That gives readers a way to think about what a ministry builds beyond its gatherings. Vince Baker Ministries develops the subject of spiritual awakening in Last Days Revival.
