Dr. Albert B. Simpson had hoped initially to be a catalyst used of God to move existing churches back to the divine plan of Spirit-filled living and evangelistic concern for people without God or hope.

When his efforts fell short of a broad response, he found himself the founder not only of a missionary movement, but also of a fellowship of Christians that increasingly assumed patterns evident in New Testament churches. This movement became known as The Christian and Missionary Alliance.

The common thread running through All for Jesus is how The Christian and Missionary Alliance providentially became a dynamic body of New Testament-type churches.
