Brother Branham often spoke fondly of his friends, Brother
and Sister Kidd.
Down at the tabernacle at home, there's little old couple by the
name of Kidd, comes down there from Ohio. Now, they're both in, well
in there, eighty-five or eighty-eight. And they're so old until they
can't go into churches much more, because their... They haven't got
enough voice. But you know what they do? About every tape... This
little old woman saved her money and bought a tape recorder. And so
she gets a tape. I send her tapes. And she'll take these tapes, and
she'll go at the hospitals, everywhere that she can put this tape
recorder, her and her little old husband, playing them tapes. And
then I'll send her a big roll of--of prayer cloths that I've prayed
over. 63-0119 The Way Of A True Prophet
There are people in India following this lead and doing the same
thing as Brother and Sister Kidd. The following is a testimony about
some brothers and sisters who have the same burden for sick souls in
India. Both testimonies were received from Brother Joel Paramanadam, VGR
Office Manager in Madras.
This week was a week of prayer and distribution of Message books at
two different hospitals, 400 km away from Madras, at a city called
Madurai. The patients were many poor woman folks with various
diseases lying on the floor in the hospital, where there was very
poor sanitary conditions. We waded through sick people in the midst
of the stench, distributing the books and tracts. The poor people
were very enthused seeing us distributing the Messages and requested
prayer individually. It looked like a prayer meeting amongst Hindus
and other religions. A couple of miracles took place, and nearly 200
Message books were distributed. Two infants were prayed for who had
skull injuries at the time of birth, and another five-year old boy
who had polio. Kindly remember these poor, downtrodden sickly people
in your prayers.
Sister Mala and Sister Jessie went to spread the glorious Gospel
to the sick and needy this week. The first leg of their stop was a
general hospital containing 2,000 sickly patients with various
diseases and afflictions. They, with the permission of the hospital
authorities, went inside the wards distributing the tracts and
Message books. They were welcomed by the nurses and the patients
with joy and gladness. A couple of the female nurses invited them
for the prayer meeting, which is conducted every Friday evening.
Matt 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer
him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed thee? or
thirsty, and gave thee drink?
38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee
in? or naked, and clothed thee?
39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and
came unto thee? And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily
I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of
these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
