Brian Larsen
Director for Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay
Bro. Brian Larsen after being ordained into the fulltime ministry in 1999 through Bethel Pentecostal Fellowship in Patterson, Louisiana began his tenure with the School of Christ. He remembers clearly the day that he sat at a breakfast table with Bro. Clendennen in the country of Jordan in 1999, when Bro. Clendennen pointed his finger at him and stated "this is the reason that you were born". He knew God was confirming the call that He had placed on his life in 1995 to become a missionary and work with the School of Christ fulltime.
Bro. Brian has now served as Director/Supervisor in South America for 12 years. He and his family (wife Biddy; sons Adam 18yrs, Brian James 16yrs, and Caleb 11yrs) have their home and the School's base in Argentina. He runs Schools in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay and for the first time in August 2010 in the country of Japan. Many of the Schools are mobile schools which cause him to travel from place to place throughout these countries. God has opened many doors and through this Bro. Brian has been able to see God move in mighty ways.
He testifies that through this very important tool, the School of Christ, God is drawing the Church back to Pentecostal holiness as we are drawing nearer to the coming of Christ.
