Who is William Branham

Malachi 4:5–6

William Marrion Branham (April 6, 1909 – December 24, 1965) was a prophet of God, and historians consider him the father of the great healing revivals of the 1940s and 1950s.

Lacking formal education, William Branham defied what most thought was possible when he came from the poverty-stricken backwoods of Kentucky to traveling the world and preaching the Gospel. Directed by an angel, he preached and prayed for millions of people worldwide.

Shunning popularity, he took a stance against denominational spirits that would divide and hinder the Body of Christ. His ministry was to turn the hearts of the children back to the faith of the apostles.

From 1947 until the time of his passing in 1965, the powerful ministry of William Branham was well known and considered unparalleled in the history of gospel meetings. The impact of the supernatural ministry of this one man was felt not only in North America, but also around the world.
