Dear xxxx Thank you for your question
In answer to your first question no George Jeffreys did not ever marry,
he did have a housekeeper who married after George Jeffries Died. George
Jeffries had a policy of being totally sold out to the Lords work and some
other members followed this policy, which allowed them complete devotion to
being able to travel in the extensive way that they did around the UK and
around the world. My Mother knew George Jeffries housekeeper well, she was very
protective of folk just turning up at his home in Clapham London. One day
Reinhard Bonnke turned up and was almost turned away except the Principle heard
the conversation at the door and welcomed Reinhard Bonnke in and prayed for
him.
After George Jeffries death, members of the revival party did marry despite being older men! No doubt you will remember what the Bible says about 1 Corinthians 7:32-33King James Version (KJV)
32 But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:33 But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife. Some very hurtful remarks suggested George Jeffries may have been gay due to not marring. Nevertheless, my mother who had very close access to Him and his fellow workers and pastors would have found these remarks deeply offensive and untrue. I believe the scripture above would explain his view of why he remained single. When George Jeffries died, he was totally exhausted and spent from his extensive work for the Lord from his extensive crusades, the establishment of the Elim denomination and the sad split and formation of the Bible Patten church.
In answer to your second question I have visited George Jeffries grave in Streatham London. I was able to find it incredibly thanks to some pictures from the copy of the Bible Pattern magazine.
Please excuse the detailed reply; it is rare these days that folk take any interest. Much of what I have shared and be researched and confirmed in many of the articles found on the website using the search engine. I hope this information helps.
