David Branham was an admired American businessman who built a thriving ag aviation company and prosperous agricultural enterprise in Leflore County. Additionally, he dedicated himself to serving his community and family with dedication.
During the healing revival, Branham gained widespread acceptance among Pentecostal and charismatic Christian communities. However, his post-revival teachings, which were more in line with Arminian or Calvinist doctrine than those of the Full Gospel tradition, proved controversial.

He was an enthusiastic and hard-working farmer, continuously adopting modern farming methods and scientifically-based growing strategies to boost his cotton crops’ efficiency. A member of both Leflore County Farm Bureau and Itta Bena Gin Company, he served on various boards that supported the region’s agriculture business sector.

Therefore, he has put aside his day job for eight years while rewriting the rules of family life with Kathryn Verona – they now own an eclectic collection of tchotchkes, etiquette items, quirky things and oddball bits – which they affectionately refer to as their BFFs (Best Friends Forever) by his children who have known them since they were babies – they truly have been together since birth!

Net Worth

His ministry flourished during the healing revival of the 1940s and 1950s, making him a favorite among neo-Pentecostals around the world. However, support for him waned as his post-revival doctrines became increasingly unorthodox.
He strongly opposed interracial relationships and connected people of mixed race ancestry to the wicked “hybrid” race of the serpent. His views on race were controversial, leading him to face legal setbacks as well as numerous allegations of fraudulence.
