Aimee Semple McPherson (October 9, 1890 - September 27, 1944), also known as Sister Aimee, was a Canadian-American, Los Angeles-based evangelist and media celebrity in the 1920s and 1930s. She founded the Foursquare Church. McPherson has been noted as a pioneer in the use of modern media, especially radio, and was the second woman to be granted a broadcast license. She used radio to draw on the growing appeal of popular entertainment in North America and incorporated other forms into her weekly sermons at Angelus Temple. This is a recording of one of her sermons.

To this day, Aimee Semple McPherson remains one of the most controversial evangelists of the modern church. She was a woman of God who knew no equal in influence and anointing in her day. The countless numbers of verified divine healing are on par with some of the other greats in history, like John G. Lake, Kathryn Kuhlman, and Smith Wigglesworth. However, McPherson was a whole different kind of evangelist, unlike just about anyone we have seen before or since.

Aimee Semple McPherson was honored by Time magazine as one of 20th Century's 100 Women of The Year and was one of the most famous women of the 1920s and 1930s. She was greeted by multitudes wherever she arrived and usually presented with the Key to the City. Her meetings packed the largest indoor arenas. And her visits were always deemed a blessing to every town she visited.
