Hide Profile

William Franklin Burcaw was born October 21, 1909 and died January 3, 1993. Although raised in a Christian home, he rejected church when he was twelve. He dropped out of school in the sixth grade, but continued his education through reading. Burcaw became a talented singer who performed in nightclubs, theaters, and on radio. He married a woman known as Wally. After accepting Christ as his savior, Burcaw changed his lifestyle and sang and shared his testimony in churches. He felt led to preach and traveled to Dallas Theological Seminary to study. Because he lacked a bachelor's degree, Burcaw was admitted as a special student. He made good grades and completed the four year program, earning his certificate in 1942. Burcaw served in churches in several states, including Oregon, Illinois, Montana, and Texas, and ministered with many significant individuals.
