W.V.'s ChildhoodAt the tender age of six years, Rev. W. V. Grant had his foot cut over halfway off in a freak accident. God miraculously healed him, which raised his faith to believe God for powerful miracles about 20 years later in his ministry. At the age of seven, he was hit by a semi-truck and knocked hundreds of feet. It was at this point that God spoke to him for the very first time. Considering the fact that he nearly died of eight major diseases before he was two years old and through the "grace of God" overcame all of that, it is no wonder, even to the most naïve observer, that his reputation as a "man of faith and power" is second to none, and the testimonies of individuals who have been healed, delivered from habits, and set free from "incurable" diseases continue to flood in. W.V.'s AdolescenceAs W. V. Grant entered junior high, his parents settled down in Dallas, where his father became Vice-President of The Voice of Healing, which now included such men as T. L. Osborn, Kenneth Hagin, William Branham, and many other noted ministers and evangelists. So, as you can see, W. V. Grant was literally raised in the "fire of revival."A standout star in both football and baseball during his high school years, he rejected several scholarship offers in order to attend Bible Seminary, feeling a call of God on his life. After attending Southwestern Assemblies of God Bible University, he started in the full-time ministry. He received his undergraduate degrees in English Literature and Religion, as well as his Master's Degree in History from Dallas Baptist University. He has two honorary degrees from Kingsway Bible University (Des Moines, Iowa) and the Colonial Academy (Chicago). He has pastored three churches, and ministered in most every nation of the world. |
