My husband and I were members of Mary Ruth Branham's first Pastorate in West Fork, Arkansas and have remained steadfast friends for nearly sixty years.We have shared many wonderful times from Arkansas, Arizona, California, and back to Arkansas. Mary Ruth your race is won, your fight is finished ,... Well done!
More than a friend and Pastor, Mary Ruth Branham I have known all of my life. I was born with her in attendance and became her godchild and she my godmother. I was well in my teens before time and distance prevented Mary Ruth from attending consecutive birthday dinners. Always a source of encouragement and of good report, her unannounced visits and keen conversation regarding current world events and end time prophecy will be missed! My wife and her parents were close to her as well, having hosted several evangelistic meetings in California. Recently in one of our hospital visits Mary Ruth remarked to my wife, " It is just nice when your kids are here." Having influenced me toward the Kingdom of God, appropriately she is designated my godmother.
Mary Ruth Branham is very dear to my heart. She was an excellent pastor and role model in the discipleship of Christ. Her biblical knowledge surpasses any other person I know. Her life encourages me to continually study the Word of God and pass that knowledge on to others.
Mary Ruth Branham holds a very special place in my life as a pastor and as an educator. She always encoured me. She modeled for me the Kingdom of God.
