Brother Ebrain Tona
Short History of Office:
The first country to receive the Message in South America was Venezuela, and today the work continues to grow. From the VGR office in Barquisimeto, Brother Ebrain Tona has been the distributor and office manager since 2004. Brother Ebrain is assisted in the office by his wife to help the many brothers and sisters who come to get material, watch a video, or for some who want to know about the ministry of Brother Branham. The Message is being received from the Indians along the border of Colombia, to those living in the east along the border of Guyana, and all the way to the regions of the Amazon.
Short History of Office Manager:
I was born on January 15, 1969, having the privilege of being taken to the church and presented to the Lord by my mother who is a believer of the Message of the Seventh Angel.
During my years of childhood and even in adolescence, it was common for me to hear about Biblical teachings and about the life of Brother William Branham. In spite of not understanding what I was hearing about the Word, there was something deep within me that I knew that what the Bible was saying was the Truth, and that that man whom I saw on the photograph that was in my home with a Light above his head was a prophet of the Lord.
Although I did not understand how tremendous it, I was being positively influenced by the Message of this day.
During my adolescence, I trembled because of a book titled, “A Man Sent from God” of which I read only some paragraphs that made me feel that my life was not right with God, since I had not yet confessed the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour.
One day I began to feel a bit worried because part of my family, upon returning from the services, met in my home and commented about how near the coming of the Lord was, without their knowing that these conversations were causing worry in my life.
It was thus that one Friday, September 28 of 1984 I decided to attend a service. During the service, I accepted not only the Lord as my Saviour, but was baptized in His Name. From then on until today I have been following the Message that the prophet of God brought.
I can say with all certainty in my heart, that this is the Message and the Light in which I was called to walk, and I give glory to God for letting me hear the Voice of God that continues sounding out, calling the elect to get ready for the rapture.
