In the past decades, I generally set aside two weeks of each month for missionary trips, always in such a way that I could be in Zurich for the service on the last Sunday and in Krefeld for the first weekend. In total, I covered over 15 million air miles in the process. Thus, I was able to preach in many cities in 165 countries all over the world.

Now I have reached the age of 86. Although I am in good health, the advanced age has definitely affected the walking, seeing, and hearing, so that long journeys are no longer possible. However, through the live streaming online, all believers in all countries can listen to the sermons in various languages and witness our meetings. In this manner, global spiritual care has become possible, as many believers from all over the world gratefully confirm.

I can say: LORD, now You let Your servant depart in peace, for the last message has been proclaimed on all the earth. My eyes have seen the fulfillment of the promise for this period of time. All true believers will experience everything that God will do, right until the end. HE promised it and, hence, will fulfill it.

Especially for those who have joined us in recent years from across the globe, I would like to briefly go over my spiritual life story:

I had been preaching in the Free Pentecostal Church since 1952. When I first met Brother Branham at the hotel reception on June 15, 1955, the prophet said to me, "You are a minister of the gospel," then pointed to the left and said, "Your wife is standing there at the entrance." Then we shook hands and spoke briefly with one another. From 1958 on, I translated Brother Branham's sermons into the German language. On April 2, 1962, the LORD himself gave me the commission by His audible voice to preach the Word in other cities.

Therefore, I had a long conversation with Brother Branham on December 3, 1962, in which he confirmed my commission by revelation in the presence of two witnesses. Right afterward, he asked me to preach on his behalf in Los Angeles for Demos Shakarian and also for Earnest Hotton in Oakland, Oregon. He further asked me to visit Henry Martin in Edmonton, Canada, if possible, where his taped sermons were also being played. Then he gave me the names and phone numbers of the brothers. At the end of our conversation, he said to me, "Brother Frank, if you go on a missionary trip to India, contact Paul Lawrie. He was in the meetings in Bombay, is an evangelist and came to the United States and was baptized here in the Tabernacle in the Name of the LORD Jesus Christ."

In 1964, I made my first missionary trip to India. There I witnessed how thousands of people came to the meetings, and about three hundred believers were baptized after the sermon. On the way back, I visited Jordan and Israel.

With Brother Branham's passing in December 1965, an important time period came to an end.

A new phase began, and I proclaimed the message of the Word according to God's commission all over the world, first in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, then all over Europe and later across the globe. In addition to the sermons in worship services and meetings, I made use of every opportunity to proclaim the revealed Word through radio and television broadcasts, through circular letters and brochures.

At the prophet's funeral on April 11, 1966, I invited Brother Pearry Green to come and testify of what his eyes had seen

in Brother Branham's ministry and what he had witnessed in the meetings. Unfortunately, he only told stories from the life of the prophet. In his first sermon in Krefeld, he said enthusiastically, "In a vision, the prophet saw a calendar that opened by itself and stopped in the year 1977." It was proclaimed that in 1977 everything was supposed to be over and the rapture was to take place. I was his interpreter and mentioned the remark about the calendar in my first circular letter in 1966. Later I found out that Brother Branham had never spoken of a calendar.

When 1977 came and went, the new teaching was propagated that the resurrection would take place during the great earthquake on the west coast of the United States, and the prophet would then complete his ministry in a tent. One really cannot occupy oneself with all the false teachings – it is a waste of time.

Without going into further details in regard to the subject matters that were presented by the preachers from the United States, this must still be said: Not one of them could report of having received a commission. No one preached the Word; all of them told their prepared stories, and they were only interested in quotes: "The Prophet said, …"

I say this for the glory of God: I have never once set aside the Word and accepted an interpretation. That turned the brothers against me because they put the prophet's quotes above the Word and did not accept the written Word as the final authority.

Then came the year 1979, when the enemy sowed doubts about the commission in order to make me appear untrustworthy and destroy the church. I was at the pulpit when suddenly, shortly before the end of the sermon, a woman shouted loudly, "Everything here is hypocrisy! Come out, leave this building and never come back, because everything here is over forever!" Anyone who believes what the woman's voice said back then has not entered the building again to this day. Those who believe what the voice of the LORD said on April 2, 1962, and Brother Branham confirmed on December 3, 1962, in the presence of two witnesses, come from all over the world and fill the church building. And many thousands of people join us online and hear the pure Word for this time. The LORD kept His Word and did not allow the enemy to destroy His Work.

The second part of the divine commission given on June 11, 1933, namely that the message will be carried all over the world, is being fulfilled before our eyes. In Mat 24:14, our LORD Himself said, "And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

Brother Branham had been commanded in March 1962 to store in the food, as he then reported on April 1. When he spoke about the seventh seal, he turned to Brother Neville after the first 10 minutes and said, "Now the food is stored in." On Sunday, September 19, 1976, the LORD spoke to me with a loud voice: "My servant, I have ordained you according to Matthew 24, verses 45 to 47, to give out the food in due season." I have passed it on to all ministering brothers and God's people. All of the elect believe every Word of God and respect His decision. They feast at the richly prepared table of the LORD.

I am also just a man like Elijah, Paul, or Brother Branham, but it is also true that I have carried out the direct commission the LORD has given me. There is no need to repeat the instructions and supernatural experiences that the faithful LORD has given me over the years. I have already spoken about this in various circular letters. Every supernatural experience is true; God is my witness. Like Paul and Brother Branham, I can state the time and place where each one happened.

By God's grace, I can testify like Paul that I was called "to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, which he had promised afore by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures" (Rom 1:1-2) and that I have carried out God's commission. According to Phil 1:6, the LORD Himself will finish His Work: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ."

"This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts." (Zec 4:6).
