Letters From Prisoners

It’s probably the biggest missionary front in the United States: the prisons. These inmates have a lot of time to think about their past sins and their eternal destination. For some of them, everything changes when that special book falls into their hands. Here are a few excerpts of letters we have received over the past month.

It is a very dark and lonely place here, the one light we have comes from the Spoken Word that you send us and how thankful we are for that Light. Brother Branham means so much to us as we have come to learn that this is the only Truth!

I am 37 years old and have no excuse; I was raised in a holiness household. My dad was a preacher and almost every night we listened to Brother Branham’s tapes. At the age of 13 I fell away from my family and started using drugs and one thing led to another. Last year I was arrested and placed in jail. About 6 months ago I gave up and fell on my knees asking God to take over. I messed up so bad on my own. I started writing my dad and things are better between us again. I asked him for some books but they would not let him give them to me. We did not know what to do. Then one day I went to the water cooler and on top of the bottle was a Brother Branham book! Right here in the middle of the room on top of the water cooler. I just yelled, My God! A Spanish inmate came over and asked what’s wrong. I said, “This book, just setting here.” He said, “I received a package from Voice Of God and there was an English book in it so I placed it there.” He gave me your address. Please, I’m just starting down this road and I need the map.

I wanted to send a little note to thank you for helping me in my spiritual walk. But then the truth is, before I read Brother Branham’s Message I knew nothing at all about a spiritual walk.

I was raised religiously, still here I am. I read a book of William Branham a while back and then ran into many cults. End Time believers, Millennium believers, God man believers, Rise again, and just so many, I rejected the whole thing. Early this year I had a dream, I saw God place a cassette in a radio and He said “Hear this.” About three months ago in the chapel an inmate said, “Listen to this,” and handed me his ear piece. I turned pail and sat down. He said, “I never expected that reaction.” I said, “Who is that?” He said, “Brother Branham.” I said, “I heard that voice in a dream, he is a true man of God and God sent him to me!” Brother, I repent of all my thoughts. Please forgive me and send me the books.

How can anyone not believe Brother Branham? Just check the Bible!

I am trying to change my life. I became involved in the church here, thought that would help me. Well I guess it did as that is how I heard of Brother Branham. See I was trying to get inmates to come to church. I asked one if he was searching for the Truth, everyone always says yes. He threw me off by answering: no. “I have the Truth and the answers to the mysteries.” All I could do was say “what?” He started reading from different books he had and I was astonish, this is the Truth. I was stunned and asked if I could study this word also. He said sure but you have to get your own and gave me your address.

I am a Hispanic brother and I wish to say that God has used Brother Branham’s special form of English to educate us in the Spoken Words of Jesus Christ.

I’ve been here over a decade and have been a Christian for seven years, or so I thought. See, I asked one of the inmates here if he was a Christian. He replied no, so I asked him if he wanted to know Jesus as his personal Savior. He said, “I don’t know, which one do you mean?” I said what? He started telling me that if you are saved then you were always saved, even before there was a world because God, Jesus Christ, knew you before there was a world. Well my head was spinning. He said, “I knew what you were asking, I just wanted you to know what you were asking.” Well he took me places I never heard about, from serpents to “ask what you will.” Brothers I need help, he told me to contact you and get off the milk. I just feel like I wasted seven years, I know I did not, but just send the meat!
