There was a tremendous response to my last brochure. Especially the ministering brethren are thankful for the clear language. I purposely chose the title “People ask questions – God answers by His Word”. We are not interested in any individual’s answer or any self-serving interpretation of the Scripture or the message of the hour. Whoever is truly born of God, in him the seed of the Word remains (1. Jn 3:9). In every interpretation the enemy turns the head of the people, as he did with Eve. The poison of asps is found in every tongue which spreads interpretations (Rom. 3:12-17).

Already at the very beginning, in the time of the apostles, brothers got under the wrong influence and introduced corrupted doctrines. Not even the apostles could prevent this. Very early on, the Nicolaitans and those who represented the teachings of Balaam found an audience and followers. There was also a prophetess, Jezebel, who thought she was a teacher and deceived even the servants of the Lord (Rev. 2). Those things are predicted especially for the end time (1. Tim. 4; 2. Tim. 3; a. o.). It was and still is the declared intention of Satan to destroy the divine order. Nevertheless, the true teaching of the apostles remains, in all its clarity. The Church is built on the true foundation laid by God and thereupon it unshakably stands. The elect are built up a spiritual house, to offer up spiritual sacrifices (1. Pet. 2:5-10). Right to the end the true Church will remain the house of the living God, the pillar and the foundation of the truth (1. Tim. 3:15).

In 2. Cor., chapter 6, from verse 14, to chapter 7, verse 1, all of us are asked this question, “… for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?” What does God’s Word have in common with any of Satan’s interpretations? We are either members of the body of Christ, the temple of God, or we are a religious association which could be compared to the synagogue of Satan (Rev. 2:8-11). Either we believe God’s Word, or the interpretations.

Our Lord speaks to His own, “Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.” (Jn. 15:3). Whoever abides in the Word abides in God. The person who gets caught in the interpretations is a prisoner of Satan. That is the reason why the Apostle Paul wrote that the people who are trapped by the enemy should free themselves and refuse to do the will of Satan any longer (2. Tim. 2:26).

Until the very end all true servants of God will serve the pure food, the revealed Word of God, on the Lord’s table (Mt. 24:45-47). On the other hand we read in Isa. 28:8 about the other tables which are, “… full of vomit and filthiness, so that there is no place clean.” Then comes the promise, “This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.” (v. 12). The Apostle Peter referred to this very important thought about the refreshing time in Acts 3:19-21, stating that Jesus Christ remains in heaven until the times of restitution, the times of refreshing, and, finally, the latter rain comes, when all things are restored and brought back into their original state (Zech. 10:1; Jas. 5:7). We will reach this goal only by remaining in the true faith and by being obedient within the Will of God. The divine message was proclaimed anew and crystal clear from the lips of Brother Branham, so that the Bride Church would be prepared for the moment when the Bridegroom returns.

I firmly believe in the calling and commission of Brother Branham. I believe and respect his faithful and biblical preaching of the Word. I believe every revelation he received by the Spirit of God for the Church. I believe he was the promised prophet who was to come before the great and dreadful day of the Lord. I believe the message entrusted unto him is the one that precedes the second coming of Christ. I do not, however, believe a single one of the many interpretations that some individuals made up from his statements. In all my publications in the past forty years I have honoured and defended Brother Branham’s ministry. That is something I did in all the meetings throughout the whole world as well. My first brochure “Only believe the Thus saith the Lord”, wherein I show forth Brother Branham’s ministry from the scriptural viewpoint, has been reprinted many times over the years, and more than two hundred thousand copies have been sent out just in the English language.

Right in the very first meeting I attended in 1955, when I heard Brother Branham preach I recognised him to be a man sent from God. I experienced that the text of Heb. 13:8 was not just displayed over the platform, but that the resurrected Lord revealed Himself on the platform as the same yesterday, today, and for ever. I became a witness to that infallible prophetic ministry and I can testify of what my eyes have seen and my ears have heard.

With deep gratitude I remember when I first shook his hand on August 15^th, 1955, and all the other times I met this man of God. In a conversation on June 11^th, 1958, I asked Brother Branham about the difference which I had noticed between him and all the other evangelists who were participating in the “Voice of Healing Convention” in Dallas, Texas. His reply was, “I have a message to bring.” At the end of this conversation he said, “Brother Frank, you will return to Germany with this message.”

The ever true God ordained it for me to share His Word and Will with His people in this time. God also led in such a way that I received all the sermons Brother Branham had preached. For ten years, right until he was called home in December 1965, I was connected with him and with his ministry as perhaps no one else on earth. I had to put the precious spiritual food in storage until the time of the giving-out came. I translated his sermons into the German language and thereby passed the spiritual food on to God’s people. (Please see the photo with the brochures in Zurich, Switzerland.) I also made provisions for his sermons to be translated into many other languages.

I had nothing to do with my calling, I was just found worthy by the Lord Himself to take His revealed Word to the ends of the earth, therefore I give all the glory to Him. Neither the calling nor the commission were my decision – it was the Will of God that I should bring the last message to His people the same way I have received it from Him. On every continent, in every country where the ever true God could use me as His mouthpiece there are people who have gratefully accepted His Word and who remain true and faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ.

I am thankful to God for the brethren who stay steadfast in the Word of Truth. At the same time I am grief-stricken by the thought of all those who have fallen prey to their own interpretations and to the illusions of others. But we are still living in the time of grace and all have the opportunity to return to the Word and Will of God (Jas. 5:19-20).

In the year 2006 I continued taking my monthly missionary trips all around the world. Thousands heard the Word of God and especially the ministering brethren were blessed by it. Many things could be reported of what God has done and is still doing to this day.

We are also very grateful to God for the great number of people attending the special meetings held here in the Mission Center on the first weekend of every month. Each time believers travel from all over Europe and even from other continents to join us. The sermons in those meetings are simultaneously being translated into twelve different languages, so that all who are present can hear the message in their own language. Via the Internet our services are being transmitted live in seven languages and can be heard worldwide. We are especially thankful for the elders in the local church, Brother Leonhard Russ and Brother Paul Schmidt, who have not wavered throughout all these years. We have all gotten older, but the Lord renews our strength for His service every day. Likewise do we appreciate all the brethren in the various cities and countries who carry the true Word of God and proclaim the everlasting Gospel of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Special thanks go to all the brothers and sisters who faithfully work here in the Mission Center in the offices, the print shop, the publishing facilities, and also to the brethren who are responsible for the Internet transmission and all the TV programs which are being broadcast in a number of countries. We can truthfully testify to the fact that God has seen to everything and provided all the necessary means for the local and the international ministry.

Now I would like to take the opportunity to express my gratitude to all of you for remembering this missionary work which is directly connected to God’s plan of Salvation. Thank you for your prayers and for your support. As everyone knows we send out all the printed materials, all the CDs and DVDs, absolutely everything in every to us available language free of charge worldwide upon request.

Not everybody can be working here in the Mission Center, not everyone can be part of the local church, but all can belong to the Church of the Firstborn, no matter where they live on earth and all can partake in this blessed work in the Kingdom of God. It is our conviction, and our belief is anchored in the Holy Scriptures, that we are now experiencing the very last part of the plan of Salvation. The divine message does not return void, but rather accomplishes what it was sent for. We are very grateful to God Almighty for what He is presently doing and we are expectant of His final work right to the completion, when we shall see Him. This shall be the case according to the Will of God with all those who will be waiting and living for the Lord in faith and obedience.

For the year 2007 I wish all of you God’s richest blessings. May it be a year of jubilee for all of us, so that we may return to our rightful possession. Please, remember me in your daily prayers, “… for the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.” (2. Jn. 2).
