Thomas Albert Short was raised in home of Charles and Coral Short with eleven other siblings, him being the middle child, had always sought his destiny in the love of truth and for a concrete evidence for who and what was God. He would learn to seek beyond the obvious of status quo, and rather then simply jumping in with the group, merely because they were a group. He surrendered his heart to the Lord after a dramatic experience of listening to the Sermon entitled, “Father Abraham,” preached by the notable Evangelist/Prophet William Branham. After hearing the sermon and the powerful prayer line of many infallible miracles, Thomas came to a concise decision and clear declaration of, “No man can do these supernatural signs and works, no mere man.”
