Branch Leaders

Long before the organization of the Branch in 1992, God in His infinite wisdom was preparing people for this marvelous branch. There were many conversions and stories, but here the events that led up to the branch creation will be depicted. The souls of many members were impressed with an early vision of what was to come.
