Brian LabosierBrian can’t remember a time when he did not believe in the reality of God and the trustworthiness of Scripture. He usually dates his conversion either to a time when he remembers spontaneously praying to God as a young boy of 4 or 5 or to a later time at age 12 when he was more clearly presented with the specific claims of Jesus Christ on his life and remembers praying explicitly to receive Christ as his Lord and Savior. God gave him a love for His church and led him to pursue one graduate degree at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and two more at Westminster Theological Seminary. He has served for 14 years in the pastoral ministry: first in upstate New York and then in inner-city Philadelphia. For over 30 years he has also served as Professor of Biblical Studies: first at (Bethel) Seminary of the East, then as an adjunct at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, and finally at a lay institute called New England Christian Study Center. Now he is retired, and God has led him to pursue two new life goals: (1) to grow in his own walk with God and (2) to share whatever he is learning with others in whatever ways God opens up. Brian and his wife, Helen, have been married for 51 years, and they have four adult married children and nine grandchildren. God has been so good to us and blessed us in so many ways. To Him be the glory!
