According to Wikipedia, Wagner was a missionary in Bolivia from 1956 to 1971 and then served for 30 years as professor of Church Growth at Fuller Theological Seminary’s School of World Missions (@Fuller_SIS) until his retirement in 2001. He was the president of Global Harvest Ministries and chancellor emeritus of Wagner Leadership Institute (@TweetWLI), which serves to train leaders to join in a movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, an organization Wagner also helped to found. Wagner coined the term The Third Wave to identify a new movement of the Holy Spirit. He explained the Third Wave as “a gradual opening of straightline evangelical churches to the supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit without the participants becoming either Pentecostals or Charismatics.”
