[edit] Number of followers

2 million followers? Sounds like an awful lot. What was the source of your information? Malachi456 09:26, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Pearry Green has cited this number for probably 4 or 5 years now. I can't remember the exact break down. But according to him about 1.2 million are in Africa (500,000 in the Congo). Strawberry Island 03:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

2 million does seem like an upper figure to me. According to spoken word website their distribution lists has 300,000 or so recipients, so I have put that a low number. And the number of course depends on who you ask there are several different "sects" of followers who all claim they are the only true followers. It's important to note in this article that the lack of central governance also has led to a variety of interpretations of branham's teachings. Charles Edward 16:01, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Merge with Believers Church

I have merged this article with Believers church as they are both on the same topic online using different names. I believe message churches to be more prevelantly used than believers church which is why i merged to this article. If you disagree than I am happy to make "believers church" the article title. I simply think they should be one article. Charles Edward 15:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
