Started testimony in military (took military as an option instead of jail time). Jumped people across the border and then started transporting drugs across the border. Brian got shot point-blank in the head with a 22. In the hospital for 75 days without being able to eat speak or swallow.
Brian got saved and discipled through Victory Outreach, a men's home. After 13 months there, Brian went to Gettysburgh Master's Commision for 3 years. Joined with Bob Costello and worked with him for some time.
Soon after, Brian was brought on staff by Pastor Jeff Leake of Allison Park Church. *I like when Brian said that he was tired of the office and needed to get out of there.* The program at Pittsburgh City Outreach is six months and then for six months they stay at the home and pay rent.
People they minister to suck the life out of them - Brian said that we have to set up boundaries with the people that he ministers to. They need to find time to get away because people on the streets consider them to be the pastors.
His ministry is largely supported by Allison Park Church's Network of Hope. They train others, provide for church plants, counseling, food banks, and money issues.
