Kathryn kuhlman is a popular name that that comes to mind anytime Women in Ministry, Expecially the Miraculous Ministry in the days of the 40’s and 50’s comes to mind.
She is notable one of the females captured in the God’s General.
There are so many great stories about her but a little was really told about her Marriage and Relationship Experience.
But old pictures of Kathryn Kuhlman and Burroughs Waltrip during their courtship show a handsome and happy pair, smiling and obviously enjoying each other and their friends.
Waltrip (called “Mister” by Kuhlman) was tall and slender, even a bit taller than Kuhlman, and the two began to share preaching in Kuhlman’s Denver Revival Tabernacle and Waltrip’s Radio Chapel in Mason City, Iowa.
The pair began to make the 800 mile trip between the churches a little too often for simply professional reasons. Even their congregations began to suspect an affair.
Such a union would be disastrous for the couple, especially for Kuhlman, due to the fact that Burroughs Waltrip was still married at the time, with a wife and two young sons in Texas.
Despite the danger to his ministry, Waltrip divorced his wife Jessie and abandoned his children, Burroughs Waltrip, Jr., and William waltrip, in order to marry Kuhlman in October of 1938.
Kuhlman made the staggeringly foolish decision to accept his proposal. Why? Whatever the reason, and the reality was most certainly a complex mixture of many motivations, the marriage destroyed both evangelists’ ministries. Failure after failure followed the couple’s descent into obscurity during the six years that followed.
It was necessary for Kuhlman to separate herself from the controversy connected with Borroughs Waltrip that was bogging down her career. Judging from the rapidity with which she left Waltrip to return to her work, she instantly regretted her decision to marry him. Kuhlman faced a difficult problem.
To preserve any shred of her career, she had to leave Waltrip and try to start again, but such a decision could itself destroy her. In those days a divorced female evangelist was not much better than a female evangelist married to a divorced man.
Through the 40’s and 50’s Kuhlman was rejected by much of the church, but it was as though God was preparing her for something greater.
When the Charismatic Renewal hit, she rose from the ashes and became one of the greatest evangelists the world has ever seen.
Indeed,
“Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me.” -Micah 7:8.
