Conrad Murrell was set apart by God as a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was pastor of several churches earlier in his ministry and was a true man of God, a genuine preacher of the gospel. He became an evangelist in his 30’s and preached at churches across the United States and in other countries. He had a heart to help other pastors, and this was his primary goal for founding Grace Bible Camp in Bentley. One once said of him, “he was a Pastor of Pastors”.
Bro. Murrell was preceded in death by his first wife, Eunice V. Murrell; second wife, Grace Owens Gatch Murrell; daughter in law, Kay Malone Murrell; parents, Alvin and Era Thompson Murrell; brothers, Kerwin E. Murrell, Fred D. Murrell, and Waynon T. Murrell, and a sister, Lila Gayle Willingham.
