Biographical Statement

Brent Terry was born the youngest of six in the small college town of Ypsilanti, Michigan.  The son of a factory worker, graduated first in his high school class, and went on to study computer engineering at the University of Michigan, College of Engineering in Ann Arbor.

Professionally, Brent has been an architectural information systems specialist; a software engineer in robotic controls; a financial consultant in the insurance industry; and is currently a hospital administrator.

Being raised in a suburb of Detroit, Brent developed a love for Motown and singing.  While his family did not attend church, gospel music was played every Sunday.  In college he joined the campus gospel choir, and became curious about the song lyrics.  This was the start of his relationship with Jesus.

Brent became active in campus and community evangelism.  He was a Sunday school teacher, deacon, and choir member throughout his late teens and twenties.

The “dirty” thirties brought about a decade of struggle, failure, and addiction.  With outward success and inward turmoil, Brent soon embraced a lifestyle of destruction.

At the age of 40, God magnified His redemptive power and grace in Brent’s life.  It’s been Brent’s mission to expose the devices of Satan, minister deliverance to disavowed believers, and applaud restorative change.

“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:  it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace:  the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” - Isaiah 55:10-12 (KJV)
