===ZhaoΖάο WeishanΟυεϊσάν===

Μεταξύ των ατόμων που έλαβαν και αποδέχτηκαν το μήνυμα του Παντοδύναμου Θεού ήταν ο '''Ζάο Ουεϊσάν''' (趙維山, Zhào Wéishān, γεννήθηκε στις 12 Δεκεμβρίου 1951).<ref>Dunn (2015),48: "Other Chinese sources present a far more complex account of Eastern Lightning's origins. They charge a middle-aged man named Zhao Weishan 赵维山, once a physics teacher or railroad worker, with founding the movement. These sources ... was a member of the Shouters in the late 1980s. He left the group with other believers in 1989 to form an offshoot called the Church of the Everlasting Foundation (永存的根基教会 Yongcun de genjijiaohui), in which he presented himself as a 'Lord of Ability' (能力主 nengli zhu). In May, 1992, a Chinese Christian magazine reported that a group called 'the New Church of the Lord of Ability' (新能力主教会 Xin nenglizhu jiaohui) had been distributing tracts and cassette recordings in the southwest Henan since March 1991."</ref> Ενώ μερικοί μελετητές θεωρούν τον Ζάο ως ιδρυτή του κινήματος,<ref>Kindopp (2004), 141: “Similarly, a disgruntled Protestant Christian named Zhao Weishan broke from his church to establish the Eastern Lightning cult, also in Henan"; Aikman (2003), 242: “"Some time in the 1990s, the man regarded as the founder of Eastern Lightning, Zhao Weishan, came to the United States with a false passport and applied for—and in 2000 was granted—political asylum.”</ref> άλλοι πιστεύουν ότι υπάρχει μια προκατάληψη στις κινέζικες πηγές, οι οποίες δεν θα αποδεχθούν εύκολα ότι το κίνημα ιδρύθηκε από γυναίκα και ότι ο τίτλος του ιδρυτή της εκκλησίας του Παντοδύναμου Θεού θα αποδοθεί στην γυναίκα που το κίνημα θεωρεί ως Παντοδύναμο Θεό.<ref>CESNUR (2017).</ref> According to Australian scholar Emily Dunn, in 1991, the organization had more than a thousand members. After being investigated and prosecuted by a local police station, Zhao left [[Heilongjiang]] Province and continued the organization in Qingfeng County, [[Henan]], where it continued to expand.<ref>Dunn (2015), 48.</ref> He was later recognized as the leader and the Priest of The Church of Almighty God. The church insists that it is personally led and shepherded by the person it recognizes as Almighty God, and that Zhao, "the Man used by the Holy Spirit," is the administrative leader of the movement.<ref>Introvigne (2017c); Zoccatelli (2018), 9.</ref>
