Rev. Frank Curts: William Branham Life Story Overturned

Thanks to several researchers who have just pieced together the real version of William Branham's famous "Mishawaka" trip after watching the last podcast and sending in research. In the podcast, we discussed a very tiny article in the Jeffersonville Newspaper where William Branham and/or members of his church advertised meetings with a "Rev. Curts from Cincinnati". Apparently, this single article was key to overturning Branham's entire ministerial history and "divinely inspired" series of events that started the "Message".

"Rev. Curts from Cincinnati", Rev. Frank E. Curts is actually a very famous Pentecostal minister who was a founding figure of early Pentecostalism. Though Branham claimed never to have "seen a Pentecostal" before the Mishawaka trip, Curts visited Branham — and held a revival for Branham on August 15, 1934, prior to Branham's Mishawaka trip. He preached on Wednesday evening at the "Branham Pentecostal Tabernacle", which at that time was on 8th and Pratt Streets. The Billie Branham Pentecostal Tabernacle had not yet been built, and Branham was preaching from tents on open land on Pratt Street.

The next month, in September 1934, Curts apparently invited William Branham to speak at G. B. Rowe's church in Mishawaka at the September convention. William Branham actually mentioned this connection but pretended not to know either Curts or Rowe. Branham purposefully misspelled G. B. Rowe's last name.
