Conrad Bowman

 

Conrad Bowman was born November 22, 1934, in Pascagoula, Mississippi, the oldest of seven sons. At the age of seven years, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. As a young man, he moved to Houston, Texas, where he met and married Norma Yeary on November 16, 1957. They were blessed with one daughter, Brenda. Employment with several medical companies took him and his family to Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, California, and finally back to Texas.

 

He served as an elder and Bible teacher in churches in Jackson, Mississippi, and Walnut Creek, California, and he taught several Bible classes at his church in Houston.

 

Beginning in the early 1970s, Conrad began to focus primarily on the dispensational interpretation of Scripture and studied extensively the writings of John Nelson Darby, Harry Ironside, William Kelly, Robert Anderson (the head of Scotland Yard at the time), John Bellet, William Hocking, William Sperry Chafer, C.I. Scofield, Miles Stanford, and many others. Conrad knew and exchanged correspondence with Miles Stanford for a number of years.

 

In the latter years of his life, Conrad and Norma were the owners of a medical supply business in Houston. In 2004, Conrad underwent surgery and treatment for colon cancer, and continuing health problems resulted in the closing of his business which he had enjoyed so much. On February 14, 2009, Conrad was called home to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb and he is now with the Lord. He and his wife Norma were blessed with fifty-one years of marriage.
