In April 1974 we were able to inaugurate the church building in the Krefeld Mission Center. Therefore, we will gratefully celebrate the 40-year anniversary on the first weekend in April 2014.

From a small group of believers, which gathered in a home in December 1958 to listen to the sermons of Brother Branham, a worldwide missionary work came into existence.

In the years from 1976 to 1978, the two mission buildings were constructed and have served in their capacity ever since. Another building was added later on. Today we have accommodations for our out-of-town visitors, our own print shop, offices, processing rooms, and technical facilities, allowing for worldwide distribution of literature, CDs, and DVDs.

Between 800 and 1,200 believers from all over Europe and other parts of the world attend our monthly meetings in the Mission Center in Krefeld with a desire to hear the Word of God. In addition, the corresponding viewing rate over the Internet, something that was not yet possible even ten years ago, has surpassed the 1,200-mark. Every sermon is translated simultaneously into 12 main languages and can be heard on every continent. We also send out over 11,000 DVDs worldwide each month. Large assemblies, home groups, and individual children of God in 172 countries of the earth are being supplied with the spiritual food. In this manner, all true believers can have a part in what God is presently doing.

It is not my work – the faithful Lord has taken care of everything. With the help of the brothers and sisters, some of whom have been employed at the Mission Center for decades, we can process the incoming mail and all of the e-mails in the office, prepare the manuscripts, print the brochures and books, and attend to all of the orders. In addition, there are the translators who do their work on a voluntary basis as well as the brothers in the technical facilities and in the control room who make sure that everything is recorded and broadcast.

As in the time of Moses, the same God has equipped all of those who in one way or another participate in the work of the Lord with the corresponding skills – for His glory and for the welfare of His Church. Sometimes I wish that Brother Branham could see the fulfillment of what he said on February 10, 1960, in Puerto Rico, “Not that I would be a forerunner, but the message was the forerunning.”

The blessed ministry of Brother Branham, as confirmed by God, was worthwhile, and the true message which is based solely on the Holy Scriptures accomplishes what it was sent for. For the glory of God, I may confess that the faithful Lord, who called and sent me, has been with me throughout all the years. As the carrier of His Word, He kept me in His Word and His Will so that I have never had to correct anything in the more than 9,000 sermons I have preached. This includes the TV programs that are currently being broadcast in the USA, in Canada, New Zealand, and Australia as well as in Romania, Russia, and in South America, just as the former radio broadcasts via Radio Luxemburg, in Berlin, in Alaska, Iceland, etc. The spoken and written Word goes from here in all the main languages to the individual countries, where it is translated into additional regional languages.

Up to this hour, I have consecrated all my time to the Lord; I have even made use of the hours on the plane to write the manuscripts. Since Lufthansa introduced the Miles-and-More program in 1993 and kept track of the miles flown with their airline as well as their partner airlines, I have accumulated 5,921,000 frequent flier miles. The status as of January 25, 2014, surprised even me. These 5.921 million are just the miles from the past 20 years. And the flights with other airlines are not included in this. So I have probably travelled more than 10 million miles by plane in the past 50 years. On the world map hanging in the office, we used colored pins to mark the 262 cities in which I have preached.If we add all of the places that are not shown on that world map, then there are considerably more cities in which the true message of the Word has been proclaimed.

In all the years, I was led to plan two weeks of the month for the missionary journeys and two weeks here in the Mission Center. I have made the most of my time, by day and by night. The translation of the sermons of Brother Branham took a great deal of the time, but so did the Circular Letters, brochures, and books, all of which I first drafted by hand. I can say with a clear conscience that I have lived only for the one purpose which the Lord ordained me for before the foundation of the world: namely for all who were written into the Lamb’s Book of Life before the foundation of the world to now hear the last call and believe the message.

What the Lord said in Isa 55:11 is of utmost importance for me: “So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” This is Thus saith the Lord. Not the messenger, but the message, the Word which came forth from the mouth of God accomplishes and achieves what it was sent for. We are hearing this more and more through the testimonies in this regard coming from many countries. But only the ones who receive the messenger sent by God truly believe the message. Before I began this ministry, I asked the Lord in a promise of devotion: “Dear Lord, I want to see all who hear Your Word from my mouth and believe it in Glory with You.” In the experience of the Rapture, the faithful Lord reassured me of this.

I was allowed to preach the everlasting Gospel to all nations. The calling-out according to 2 Cor 6:14-18 and Rev 18:4 has taken place. Others shall still be added. All of the elect hear what the Spirit has to say through the Word. They do not add to or take away from the divine Testament. The Spirit and the Bride say: “Come! Yes, come Lord Jesus.” The Lord Himself will finish His work, namely through a mighty move of the Spirit in the complete restoration. “For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.” (Rom 9:28). To the despisers, who only speak about what God did through the prophet but contemptuously bypass what He is presently doing, He said, “Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.” (Acts 13:41). How precious the last Words of our Lord are to me, which He has kept without fail: “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Mat 28:20).
