'''Leonard Bergen''' was born in a jail cell in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada in January 1923, as the local hospital was overcrowded. Leonard was raised on the family farm on the Canadian prairies, and was influenced strongly by his father and mother how to live a Christian life. As a young man, Leonard was asked by a minister to act as an usher during one meeting that [[William Branham]] held in the late 1940s in Saskatchewan. It was while acting as an usher in the meeting that Leonard witnessed the healing of a crippled boy and a lady with a hunch-back. | '''Leonard Bergen''' was born in a jail cell in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Canada in January 1923, as the local hospital was overcrowded.

Before witnessing these miracles, William Branham asked the congregation to bow their heads and close their eyes. Being a respectful but curious person, Leonard bowed his head and asked the Lord to forgive him for watching as he wanted to see the healing first-hand. The following first-hand testimonies were captured on video shortly before Leonard's passing in 2005. | Before witnessing these miracles, William Branham asked the congregation to bow their heads and close their eyes.
