My name is Brian Read and I am originally from West Bend, WI. I grew up with five siblings and I enjoyed swimming, running track, and playing golf/caddying.  After I graduated high school I went into the Marine Corps to work on Ch-46 helicopters as an avionics tech and aircraft electrician for four years. After I finished serving I began searching for the meaning of life and asking God to reveal to me my purpose. On April 19, 1996 I surrendered my life and heart to Jesus Christ and began my journey of living for His purposes and advancing the Kingdom of God! He gave me His heart for the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Nations! Christ in us the the hope of glory! Col 1:27 I went on my first mission trip to China in 1997 to share the love and hope of Jesus Christ to the Chinese people and bring them Bibles to read in their own language and to help them grow in their faith walk with Jesus. God set me on the fast track for His heart for the Nation's and preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to China, Russia, Vietnam, India, Columbia, Honduras, Ireland, and Israel. I went to Charis Bible College with Andrew Wommack Ministries for three years. I served on staff and lived in Jerusalem for two years with the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). In 2007, I met Bryan McFarland when he came to volunteer with us to Celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles, where over 90 Nations came up to Jerusalem to worship and praise Jesus! We served and ministered together in Israel several times and have been friends now, for over fifteen years. I have known his lovely wife, Cindy for about two years, as they are happily married now and serving together for the Kingdom of God!
