Brian Bolt

Pittsburgh City Outreach.
Armed with new life, vision, and a hope to lead others in the city experience the same, Pastor Brian is pursuing his passion for the Kingdom of God in Pittsburgh. Not so long ago he was the one on the streets looking for the next fix to get him through the day, now he and his wife are walking the streets rescuing men and women from the hands of the enemy through the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit.Pastor Brian is driven. He was set free from his chains and this freedom compelled him to search for a practical method of raising up others captive by their vices. His search brought him to the Victory Outreach Church Model. His vision? Reach the men, reach the family. By starting a men's home in the heart of his community he was able to give food, shelter, and opportunity for new life to these men. He began living life with them and discipling them to be who God created them to be. These men became the foundation of the church which he was called by God to plant in the city. Eventually this vision spread out to start a home that would give the same opportunity to women.
Listening to him speak of his call to reach the broken and hurting people in the city causes you believe that God can and will do the impossible to accomplish it. Whether that be through overcoming the common obstacles of planting churches in the city or by transforming forgotten lives into world changers.There are some principles that need to be drawn out from the current context and reflected on before making application. Starting a home for men in white, middle-class suburbia is probably not going to fly. However, God's Calling, Vision, and a Passion for Christ and His people... those are transferable into any context.
