Lake was born on March 18, 1870, at St. Mary's in Ontario, Canada. While he was still a child, his parents moved to the United States. At the age of twenty-one, he became a Methodist minister; however, he chose to start a newspaper instead of accepting a church ministry.When his wife entered into a prolonged serious illness, she was miraculously delivered under the ministry of John Alexander Dowie in April 1898. This experience forever altered the directioin of John G. Lake's life and ministry.Lake is probably best remembered for his missionary work in South Africa, but his ministry in the United States was also powerful. One hundred thousand healings were recorded in five years at the Lake healing rooms in Spokane, Washington. Dr. Ruthlidge of Washington, D.C., called Spokane "the healthiest city in the world" as a result.What he accomplished as a result of his intense regard for the Word of God is an example to all Christians of what is possible for any person who will believe and act on the Scriptures.
