Kathryn Kuhlman and the Pittsburgh Healing Services
Kathryn Kuhlman led packed healing services across Pittsburgh and Los Angeles for nearly three decades and hosted the long-running television programme 'I Believe in Miracles'.
Kathryn Johanna Kuhlman (1907–1976) was born on a Missouri farm and began preaching in tent revivals as a teenager. After a turbulent early ministry and a brief, controversial marriage, she resettled in Franklin, Pennsylvania in the mid-1940s and began the Sunday-afternoon services that would make her famous.
From 1948 she held weekly services at Carnegie Hall in Pittsburgh, drawing thousands. From 1965 she added monthly services at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. From 1966 to 1975 she hosted the syndicated television programme I Believe in Miracles. She wrote three best-selling books (I Believe in Miracles, God Can Do It Again, Nothing Is Impossible With God) and donated heavily to overseas mission work.
She is widely cited as one of the most influential healing evangelists of the 20th century, and her ministry profoundly shaped a generation of Pentecostal and Charismatic preachers who followed.
