Edits to John G. Lake

I spent some time working on the John G. Lake article including adding the citation to your "Devil Who Heals" paper. It's wonderful that you're able to contribute directly to the article as you've been doing.

However, it looks like to me some of your contributions are editorial in nature and don't cite a source to back up the claim, which means that (per Wikipedia's policy) they could be challenged and should probably be removed. Other editors need to be able to verify your claims. Do you think you could add citations to back up these claims?

Details as requested

As you requested on my talk page here's a few details:

"Where he worked in the theocratic town's construction department"... "after massive retrenchments affected ever-bankrupt Zion City" – since these are somewhat pejorative claims (although I don't dispute them personally), do you have a source to back up these up?
You changed a cited source which claims Lake & Hezmalhalch did not introduce Pentecostalism to South Africa, to the claim that they were the first Pentecostal missionaries to there without a source. It's hard to prove they were the first, and since this was three years after the Welsh Revival it seems quite likely to me that someone in the British Empire must have made a missionary trip before Lake. The AFM source gives the impression that some initial groundwork was laid, making people more receptive to Lake & Hezmal.
"Due to the segregationist impulses of the AFM's white membership...". Almost certainly true, but do we have a source to prove AFM's racism?

As an aside, did Burpeau really find that Lake claimed to attend a non-existent seminary? That's pretty damning... and kind of funny.
