Brian Bolt

How is this guy not in jail for life? How is he not dead? ... God. That is crazy that he did only six months in federal prison after all the drug trafficking he had done. After leaving the navy and running into Mexico. He had a federal warrant out for his arrest! I am just in awe of what God can do, what He has done with this man. 

He's Bionic man, doctors rebuilt his face, but God transformed his life! After he got saved and went through some growing experiences as a christian, Brian wanted to plant a church, but uncle tommy rees said, "nope!" I would have said the same thing if he would have come to me. At that point brian had been kicked out of master's commision for getting married and was still very new to his christian faith and walk.

So i guess after some time went by and after working with a church in pittsburgh Brian got to start a halfway house. But going back to how he got to pittsburgh, he just totally put his faith in God. He just moved, with nothing for sure there for him. Maybe that's crazy for me because i think very practically, my faith is so weak sometimes. I would not have moved anywhere unless i knew i had a job and a ministry to go to, and a house, but no not Brian. He moved out of faith! He almost reminds me of a new Dave Wilkerson, but only starting in Pittsburgh not New York City.

I loved how he said that he knew these people could not take advantage of his whole life. THey could not even get a day off! He had to set boundaries with God first then his wife. He even had to set up boundaries with his phone by shutting if off during certain hours of the day. Brian says he thrives on chaos. I can totally relate to him there, i love craziness, crazy all the time, always going always busy i love that lifestyle, i crave it! Thats what ministry is craziness, if you don't want you're life to be crazy, if you want a 9-5 job where you go home and leave work when you leave work, then don't do ministry because it's a lifestyle that you live!
