Louisa Lorina Knauer was born August 4, 1895. She was active in the Pentecostal Movement and closely associated with the Assembly of God denomination. Louise felt called to be an evangelist. At some point before 1920 Louisa started going by the name Louise. Articles by Louise Nankivell appeared in the Pentecostal Evangel as early as 1924. The World's Faith Missionary Association ordained her in January 1924. In her early days she was known as the "girl evangelist". Louise Nankivell evidently also believed in prophetic symbolism and preached in white as a sign of God's stand against the darkness of the world. She was often referred to as the second Aimee Semple McPherson, as she had a strong preaching style and prayed for the sick.
In July 1940 Nankivell was ordained by the Illinois District of the Assembly of God denomination. In July 1941 Nankivell collapsed but seemed to recover in a short time. God called Nankivell to preach and pray for the sick. He spoke to her and said "Go and tell how great things I have done for thee. No case is beyond My help. I can do as much and more for others as I have done for you. As early as January 1943 God began to speak to Nankivell about a coming revival. For the next few years Nankivell taught on revival and repentance. She knew that God was going to move in a significant way.
In many ways Nankivell was a forerunner of the Healing Revival of the 40s and 50s. By the time it began to break loose she was already doing the work that others were stepping into. She became associated with Gordon Lindsay and was the most prominent woman in the Voice of Healing organization. Nankivell was also unusual in that she apparently managed to sidestep the conflict between the Assembly of God denomination and the healing and deliverance evangelists of the day. When the Assembly of God churches broke with the evangelists she retained her ordination and continued to write for the Pentecostal Evangel magazine. She also remained as a primary evangelist reported on by the Voice of Healing Magazine into the early 1960s. Nankivell slowed her pace in the 1960s, Louise Nankivell died May 10, 1972.
