F. F. Bosworth

===Zion, Illinois===
A year or so after they were married, after seeing copies of Dowie's newsletter, Bosworth and his wife moved to [[Zion, Illinois]] (then called Zion City), a theocratic, utopian town where modern medicine was banned and only faith healing was allowed.  When he went to Zion City, he began to play his cornet again, this time in [[John Alexander Dowie]]'s church, where he was soon made the band director.  It appears that he first met [[John G. Lake]] at Zion City, and they would be close friends for several years. During 1905-6 Dowie's empire collapsed as millions of dollars went missing and it ended up in bankruptcy under the control of the courts. With many of Dowie's frauds emerging in the face of lengthy court proceedings, Bosworth gave up hope in Dowie.<ref>Perkins, Life of Bosworth, 38.</ref>

In September 1906, though, Bosworth and his friend John G Lake were attracted to the Pentecostal message of [[Charles Parham]], who set up a large tent in Zion and tried to attract disaffected Dowieites.<ref>S.

Parham: Founder of the Apostolic Faith Movement (Baxter Springs, KS: Apostolic Faith bible College, 1930), 148-60, 171-7.</ref>  Bosworth was one of half a dozen people whose homes became meeting places for the early Pentecostal believers.<ref name="fieldswhite">{{cite book

The group was led by an Azusa Street Revival transplant Tom Hezmalhalch and Lake. Despite being persecuted by Dowie's successor, W.G. Voliva, the Perhamites remained intact for about a year.

In the late 1900s, Parham was hampered by controversial allegations of Sodomy, said to have been stirred by his Zion city opponent W.G. Voliva. The case was later dismissed as lacking evidence.
According to Kenyon's daughter, Rose, Bosworth and Dowie met Kenyon during a trip to Chicago. Bosworth and Lake became acquaintances with Hezmalhalch when Lake was seeking baptism of the Holy Spirit. Thereafter, Lake and Hezmalhalch became ministry partners and embarked on a few years of successful ministry together. Before he went to Indiana, Lake had been led by the spirit of God to dispose his considerable estate to charitable trusts and to trust God for finances.
