Gerald Lee Walker
Gerald Lee Walker was the attorney and legal expert Sarah Branham retained when she began pursuing claims involving the William Branham Evangelistic Association, Voice of God Recordings, Branham-related churches, family members, trustees, and key Message figures, placing him at the center of one of the major legal challenges to the organizational legacy of William Branham; Walker's significance is heightened by his family connection to evangelist Orland Walker, whom Branham named in connection with the "Ride This Trail Again" world-tour narrative and failed Israel prophecy, and by Walker's later role as treasurer of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International, where he publicly accused Demos Shakarian of misusing fellowship funds for legal, medical, insurance, travel, and entertainment expenses.
Gerald Lee Walker was the legal expert hired by Sarah Branham when she initiated the process to sue naming parties William Branham Evangelistic Association, Voice of God Recordings, The Branham Tabernacle, The Tucson Tabernacle, Believers International, Roy E. Roberson, Paul Brewer, Angela Smith, Billy Paul Branham, Joseph Branham, Willard Collins, Pearry Green, George E. Smith, Fred Sothmann, Floyd Patterson, and Stephen Smith.
Gerald Walker was the son of evangelist Orland Walker from Oregon, the man William Branham named[1] when he began describing his "Ride This Trail Again"[2] world tour that ultimately resulted in the Failed Israel Prophecy[3] that Branham was to fulfill before he died.[4]
Walker was also the trasurer of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International.[5] In 1988, Walker accused Shakarian of mishandling FGBMFI funds. According to Walker, Shakarian had used Full Gospel Fellowship funds to pay for legal, medical, and insurance bills.[6] That number quickly grew by an additional $276,000, some of which were "travel and entertainment expenses".[7]
