Already in the 1960’s I was preaching in the East-European countries. Back then the “Iron curtain” was still in existence and could not easily be penetrated. In spite of it the Word still reached the Eastern bloc. After 1989 I not only visited the city of Moscow, but also the interior of the Soviet Union, right to the Ural and to Siberia, and also all of Eastern Europe. There is a great responsibility connected to a divine calling, the greatest responsibility on earth. And those who have the fear of God understand that if I once again mention these important experiences, then only with the intention to shed light on what God does in His grace, in His faithfulness toward His Church. There are personal experiences believers have, like the conversion, the new birth, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, a healing, etc., etc. Then there are experiences which are directly connected to the plan of Salvation and are of great significance to the Church. Prophets and apostles had personal experiences, but also some that were connected to the Church and God’s plan of Salvation. This especially applies to the Apostle Paul as well as to Brother Branham, for both had a special commission.

I would like to refer once more to the period after 1965. Right from the beginning our beloved Brother Alexis Barilier took his stand for the message. God used him at first for the French-speaking countries in Europe and then in the African countries and beyond. He and his team have taken on the responsibility for the translation of Brother Branham’s sermons and our brochures into the French language. He still makes his trips to the African countries to preach the true Word of God. A great reward is awaiting our precious brother. He knew Brother Branham personally, attended his meetings in 1955 in Switzerland and as an eye-witness can therefore testify with assurance of what God has done in our time.

Brother Etienne Genton also attended Brother Branham’s meetings and witnessed the extraordinary ministry. His service has been a great blessing from the beginning as well, first in Italy and then in a number of other countries. Our brother also translates Brother Branham’s sermons and our publications into the Italian language. Both of these brothers have dedicated their lives to the service of the Lord. They do indeed correctly share the Word of God and give out the spiritual food.

Brother Detlef Mehnert, who was taken home to Glory in April 2003, had a different but equally important task. When he was not busy with his regular occupation as a journalist, he began making contact with various denominations after 1989. The Lord used him in a very special way. Through his intervention I was able to speak for one week at the Moscow University to all the students of the theological faculty. Because of his extraordinary ambitions, he succeeded in establishing new contacts in the whole world, even in the Islamic countries. Israel held a special place in his heart, and he has left behind footprints of blessings in the Kingdom of God. A great reward is waiting for this beloved brother in Glory.

Over the past years the brethren from Paris, Didier and Gilbert, Brother Leonard from Brussels, Brother Urs Graf from Switzerland, and also Brother Walter Müller from Austria have been a blessing to many believers in various countries. Hundreds of brethren worldwide have remained steadfast in the Word and serve God’s people. Many of them are responsible for large congregations and missionary works. We are connected to them all in the love of God.
