After her second year in high school, she began a traveling ministry. She said that “I would find any little country church that could not afford a preacher and get permission to hold services in it.” By 1935, she established a two-thousand-seat Denver Revival Tabernacle. In 1946 she was Spirit-baptized, and while pastoring in Franklin, Pennsylvania, people in her congregation began to claim healing during her preaching. At this juncture, she began a major emphasis upon divine healing. In 1947 Kuhlman moved to Pittsburgh, where she rented the Municipal Carnegie Auditorium for weekly rallies. Later rallies were moved to the First Presbyterian Church in the same city. She preached for ten years in the LA Shrine Auditorium to seven thousand people weekly while continuing the Pittsburgh meetings. She rapidly expanded into radio and television. Unlike most traditional faith healers, people who experienced healing in Kuhlman’s services were mainly Protestants and Roman Catholics, not classical Pentecostals. On October 11, 1972, she was invited by Paul VI for a private audience with him in the Vatican.
