Shortly thereafter, I returned to Germany. Here I participated in the preaching ministry as I had done before my emigration to Canada in 1956. In October 1959, the head of the Free Pentecostal Churches came to Krefeld and during a meeting publically warned us about William Branham and his doctrine. For me and some brothers and sisters, there were 14 of us altogether, the moment had now come to leave the church. We gathered in a small home fellowship where I translated the first sermon of Brother Branham in December 1959. The Lord bestowed His grace upon us, and soon we had to rent a hall which seated 70 people. Shortly thereafter, we rented a hall with exactly 120 seats. Then we rented one which had 240 seats because more and more brothers and sisters from other cities came to worship. In April 1974, we were able to inaugurate our own church building with 750 seats. Throughout all these years, the sermons of Brother Branham, which were sent to me on a regular basis, were translated in our meetings simultaneously from a tape recorder. Thus, as a church, we experienced a harmonious spiritual growth.

My experiences in the meetings of Brother Branham, whether it was in 1955, 1958, or 1962, and my personal encounters with him are well known to you. The 21 letters from Brother Branham dated between November 11, 1958, and September 30, 1965, testify of my personal connection with the man of God.
