Brian Bolt

Jail or Military or Death 

My first impression of our speaker in our class that night was that he was from the Italian Mof. He was wearing a black jacket and a big silver chain. To me he was a very laid back looking guy. Once he started to talk you could see that God was so Soaked into ever part of his life....

Brian Bolt was a man that went through some many things in the beginning of his journey that you would not help but say "IT IS GOD". At a young age he started to go major drugs and started to deal them. He got caught and the government gave him a choice one was go to Jail or the Military. So he chose the Military, when to Boot Camp didn't do that much drugs, but then after started to get back into drugs, and then run away from the Navy and went to Mexico where the Military had a warrant for his arrest. Mean time while hiding from the Military, he started to sell drugs again and a man got mad at him after a bad deal and shot him in the face....WHAT a Bullet to the FACE... when i heard this I was Like HOW CAN THIS MAN STILL BE ALIVE. He told us that when he was going to the hospital the EMT, The EMT said that Dude you are going to dye, so there he gave his life to Christ. Being in the hospital bed for 46 days around there not being able to talk, walk, or even think because of all the drug that he was on, Drug abducted man on drug by force:) His face was mostly remade with metal and other thing in which the Navy paid for everything which millions of dollar. Million dollar Face :) o shiny. So you would think after everything that he went through to take point he would change his ways.. but he didn't he started to do the drug sense again... One Day a person talked to him on the street and TOLD Him ( this is amazing) You are going to do something good for God... he was prophetic  by a person on the street that was talking to him even thou he was not even a Christian. The people that talked to him was the Victory Outreach home, they took him in, showed him how to get his life back into track, taught how to pray, and also helped him work everything out with the military. THE home rebuild is life but it was God.... the hosptal rebuild his face, but God was and is still rebuilding his life. He start to go into Master Commission got kick out..... two months got kicked out because he dated. well not really.. he thought that there was no dating so he got married. After MC worked everything out with him, he wanted to work in the city but they sent him to a small town in the country... He learn a lot out there specially  church planning, went through everything and wanted to start a church in the city, go rejected to start it, was told learn more about church planing... He started to from a lot of relationships with people around him.. Jeff Leek one man that came into his life that helped him with his vision in Alison Park, he worked there and learned more. Then he started a Church right in Pit PA where he started a Half Way House, and first month there was 150 people. But the half way house was something that was made to help and God is so soaked in that many guys were cleaned from drug but also HIV. Even a man on his death bed was saved from the HIV and started his life all over again. and was sent. This church is growing... WOW read the beginning of this blog... yeah wow.... life changing testimony that was so soaked in God that he said that everything that he did in this growth in the ministry it is all GOD.... 

I learned that from Brain that you need to set up boundary in ministry ... so that you dont get burnt out.. 

His Ministry is called Pittsburgh Outreaches which is the half way house, but they have other outreaches in the Summer.

Ministry from a man that went from drug head to a God smart man was Amazing to listen to but help me to see that my life and ministry can also be so soaked inim that i might be able to stand in front of this class when i am Older and Stay it was ALL GOD... that is my life goal now 

Thanks So Much Brian
