A Brief Biography
Velmer J. Gardner,
a graduate of Northwestern Bible College, entered the
evangelistic ministry in 1938. After spe nding a short
time on the evangelistic field, he started pastoring.
He pastored three churches in the state of Washington,
but in 1943, God began to deal with his heart.
After spending hours in prayer, God gave Rev. Gardner
faith to believe for great revivals with miracles
of healing. He listened to the great men of faith,
such as Smith Wigglesworth and Dr. Charles Price,
and his soul got stirred and his faith was inspired.
In the process of asking God why he didn’t have meetings
like the meetings of Wigglesworth and Price, God spoke
to him and said, “You can if you’ll pay the price.”
Determined to have God’s best, regardless of the
cost, Rev. Gardner sought God even more. He prayed
for the sick in all his meetings, and he saw miracles
of healing that shook cities and brought great revivals.
He knew, by experience, that the God of miracles still
lived today. In one service alone, he prayed for a
prayer line that was six people deep and one quarter
of a mile long. There were mighty miracles that took
place in that prayer line alone.
