When World War II broke out, Lindsay accepted a call to become pastor of a church in Ashland, Oregon in early 1940. He first heard William Branham in a meeting in Sacramento and, after meeting with him, they both agreed that Lindsay should act as Branham's campaign manager. In 1947 he resigned his pastoral position to become campaign manager for Branham. In order to promote the campaign, Lindsay started the "Voice of Healing" in Shreveport Louisiana in April of 1948. A magazine of wide circulation, particularly in the southern US, the first issue listed William Branham as Publisher, Gordon Lindsay as Editor, Jack Moore as Associate Editor, and Anna Jeanne Moore as Circulation Editor.
