DESCRIPTION:We are so excited to have Pastor Brian Gandy share from God's w
 ord as our guest speaker.  Brian Gandy has been called to train village p
 astors in Africa and India.\nBrian takes theological and practical trainin
 g to remote pastors who cannot afford to leave their villages\, churches\,
  and families to pursue training in Bible colleges and seminaries.\nHe als
 o ministers to persecuted pastors in some dangerous places in India where 
 persecution has been heavy. Brian also pastors a small fellowship of Asian
  Indians here in Phoenix.  \n\nBrian and Denice have been married for 39 
 years and have one married adult daughter and 4 grandchildren. Brian was a
  long-haul truck driver for 25 years. God called him into full-time minist
 ry while he was stuck in a snowstorm in Iowa.  For the next 6 years\, his
  truck became his mobile school of ministry. In 2006 Brian sold his truck 
 and volunteered at a local church in Phoenix and in 2010 he was hired onto
  the full-time pastoral staff and was later ordained as a pastor.\nShortly
  after moving into full-time ministry\, God called Brian to go to India. O
 n his first trip to India\, he saw the need for training of village pastor
 s. These village pastors do not normally have an education past the 10th g
 rade and some are illiterate. On his second visit to India\, he knew this 
 is what the Lord was wanting for the focus and direction of his ministry. 
 Also\, during this time Brian started a fellowship of Asian Indian believe
 rs in Phoenix which he still pastors to this day.\n\nBrian resigned from h
 is full-time pastoral position in 2015 and now he travels to India and Afr
 ica to train village pastors. He generally travels to India 3 times per ye
 ar and is training pastors in Nepal and Thailand as well. Besides his theo
 logical and practical training of village pastors\, the Lord has opened th
 e door for him to minister to persecuted pastors in India.\n\n
