David Wesley Myland was a Methodist pastor who became very ill and was paralyzed. He was healed at a Christian and Missionary Alliance (C&MA) meeting when prayed for by John Salmon, one of the speakers. He immediately took up the doctrine of Divine Healing and became associated with the C&MA organization. In Cleveland he opened the Gospel Union Church and the El-Shaddai Healing Home. He also traveled extensively as a C&MA speaker. By 1894 he was Secretary of Christian Alliance Ohio chapter and by 1897 he was the first Central District Superintendent of the newly formed Christian and Missionary Alliance. In 1897 he began publishing a magazine "The Messenger" about Alliance work and workers. In 1906 Myland became involved with Pentecostalism. This led him to leaving the C&MA in 1912.
Myland moved several times over the next few years starting churches, Healing Homes, and Bible schools. The Mylands finally ended back in Columbus, Ohio from 1933 - 1943, where they started a new church and spoke at churches in the surrounding area.
