description: "William Marrion Branham was an American Christian minister and faith healer who initiated the post-World War II healing revival, and claimed to be a prophet with the anointing of Elijah, who had come to prelude Christ's second coming; He is credited as \"a principal architect of restorationist thought\" for charismatics by some Christian historians, and has been called the \"leading individual in the second wave of Pentecostalism.\" He made a lasting influence on televangelism and the modern charismatic movement, and his \"stage presence remains a legend unparalleled in the history of the Charismatic movement\". At the time they were held, Branham's inter-denominational meetings were the largest religious meetings ever held in some American cities. Branham was the first American deliverance minister to successfully campaign in Europe; his ministry reached global audiences with major campaigns held in North America, Europe, Africa, and India."
