Memorial
Ola Ruth Brannon and Clifton W. Brannon, Sr., were married February 16, 1935. From this union, God granted them three children, Beverly, Madeline and Clift, Jr.Their marriage was one based upon respect, love, consideration, compromise and dedication. Listening to the call of God, they abandoned the luxurious lifestyle of a successful attorney and dedicated their lives to God and the winning of souls for Jesus Christ.
Their dedication to each other lasted seventy years before they were called home to be with the Lord they served with uncompromising dedication. Clifton (“Papa”) was born in 1912 and Ruth (“Nanny”) was born in 1914. They went home to be with the Lord within 30 days of each other in 2005. Papa passed with congestive heart failure and Nanny passed 30 days later from a broken heart and a desire to be with her beloved Papa.
We, their children, honor them and their service to the Lord with this website. Their life-long mission after entering the ministry was the conception, development and finally the distribution of the Soul Winners New Testament. They achieved awards, recognition, and the esteem of their fellow man during their lifetimes. However, what was most important to both of them was the fact that they were chosen by God to carry His Word thru the distribution of the Soul Winners New Testament. This was their love, desire and passion during their lives.
We are proud to carry on their work with the continuation of the distribution of their New Testament. Our lives are dedicated to continuing this legacy of love, compassion, grace and forgiveness. We miss them, but we thank God they are with the Lord they loved and served with total faith on this Earth. We revel in the fact that there are thousands, possibly millions, who came to know Jesus Christ as their personal savior as a result of Papa and Nanny's lives and ministry. This website and the continuation of the distribution of the Soul Winners New Testament is truly in their honor. May God bless their memory as He did their lives. They will always live in our hearts and memories.
