Brian and Angie Bolt

http://lkjennings.blogspot.com/


Brian and Angie are incredible people. Their personalities are not only attractive but also inspiringly driven. The first thing that stood out to me was their passion to preach the Gospel of Jesus. Bringing the message of salvation to people who have never heard it before is extremely challenging for me. Both of their relational skills are astounding. The way they connect with people is so personal and it’s very evident that they actually care about the people they’re ministering to. A lot of people do ministry are so busy thinking about themselves: what they are doing and about what they’re going to say etc… The importance of relationships has become a pattern with each speaker we’ve heard in this class so far. The heart of Jesus’ ministry was to love people. I don’t think that point can be stressed enough.
Brian shared his testimony about his journey in becoming a Christian (which no matter how many times hearing it never gets old to listen to.) It really moved me this time, reminding me that God’s compassion, grace, and passion for us is unfathomable. If God can change around a life like Brian lived, He will certainly do it for mine and those around me.
God promises to give us the ability and strength to accomplish the things He calls us to do…His will is never out of reach, or impossible. The most important thing I got out of the interview was direction for how to “carry the weight of the ministry”. Unwarily standing on God’s word, and proclaiming the promises of God over each situation is the biggest tool we have to fight doubt and unbelief.
