==Evangelical ministry== In 1881 he began an independent gospel ministry to the many new immigrants and the neglected masses of New York City.<ref>Daryn Henry, ''A.B. Simpson and the Making of Modern Evangelicalism'', McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP, Canada, 2019, p. 160</ref> Beside active evangelistic work in the church, he published in 1882 a missionary journal, ''The Gospel in All Lands'', the first missionary journal with pictures.<ref>J. Gordon Melton and Martin Baumann, ''Religions of the World: A Comprehensive Encyclopedia of Beliefs and Practices'', ABC-CLIO, USA, 2010, page 605</ref> Simpson also founded and began publishing an illustrated magazine entitled ''The Word, Work, and World''. By 1911, this magazine became known as ''The Alliance Weekly'', then ''Alliance Life.'' It is the official publication of The Christian and Missionary Alliance, in the US and Canada. In 1882, Simpson began informal training classes in order to reach "the neglected peoples of the world with the neglected resources of the church".<ref>William Kostlevy, ''Historical Dictionary of the Holiness Movement'', Scarecrow Press, USA, 2009, page 270</ref> By 1883, a formal program was in place and ministers and missionaries were being trained in a multi-cultural context (This school was the beginning of [[Nyack College]] and Alliance Theological Seminary). In 1885, he was invited to the International Convention of Holiness and Divine Healing in London, by the American pastor [[William Boardman]], author of ''The Higher Christian Life''.<ref>Michael G. Yount, ''A. B. Simpson: His Message and Impact on the Third Great Awakening'', Wipf and Stock Publishers, USA, 2016, p. 75</ref> He taught about holiness and especially a sermon known as "Himself", that describes the sanctification as a focus on Christ himself and on his work on the cross. In 1889, Simpson and his church family moved into their new home at the corner of 44th St. and 8th Av. called the New York Tabernacle. This became the base not only of his ministry of evangelism in the city, but also of his growing work of worldwide missions.
