Pastor Brian is a gifted evangelist with a heart for fanning the flame of passion in the local church. God has uniquely gifted him with sermonic creativity and tender compassion in his evangelistic work and hospice chaplaincy. I wholeheartedly recommend Pastor Brian as an evangelist.

Over the past few years, I have had the privilege of knowing Pastor Brian as both a spiritual leader and a trusted friend. His deep faith, compassionate heart, and unwavering commitment to serving others have made a lasting impact on myself in so many ways.
Pastor Brian leads with humility and integrity, consistently demonstrating genuine care for those around him. Whether through his inspiring sermons, his willingness to listen and counsel, or his active involvement in outreach efforts, he exemplifies what it means to live out one’s faith daily. His ability to connect with people from all walks of life and offer encouragement and wisdom in times of joy and hardship alike is truly remarkable. I have watched Pastor Brian interact with all types of people without hesitation and treat each person with dignity and respect. Beyond his pastoral duties,
Pastor Brian is a man of vision and purpose. He has a gift for bringing people together, fostering unity, and creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels valued and loved. His leadership has not only strengthened my spiritual walk, but helped me to step out of my comfort zone and into my calling.
Pastor Brian’s sermons are deeply impactful. They are delivered in such a way that each person in the room often thinks he is talking directly to them. He not only speaks God’s truths, but brings them forth with humility, compassion and with a sense of urgency. Pastor Brian’s dedication, character, and compassion make him an exceptional pastor and an even more extraordinary person. I am blessed beyond measure to call him my Pastor, my brother, and my friend.
Letter of Recommendation
Date: October 26, 2023
Subject: Recommendation for Pastor & Revivalist Brian Dessauer and the Fan the Flame Movement From: Rev. Michael Thompson, Ordained Elder, Free Methodist Church
( https://www.facebook.com/mtcarmelfreemethodist )
To Whom It May Concern,
It is with great joy and a profound sense of spiritual confidence that I write this letter of
recommendation for Pastor and Revivalist Brian Dessauer. As an Ordained Elder in the Free
Methodist Church and Brian’s mentoring pastor, I have had the privilege of walking alongside
him in ministry, witnessing firsthand the fruit of his labor and the depth of his character.
Brian Dessauer is, in every sense, a Spirit-led preacher. In an era where many rely on oratory
skill alone, Brian stands out as one who preaches with true power—a power that clearly emanates from a life of prayer and a deep sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. He is a gifted revivalist who carries a dual burden: a compassionate heart that calls the lost to the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and a prophetic voice that challenges the established church to move beyond complacency into a deeper, more radical commitment to the Kingdom of God. Throughout our time together, I have found Brian to be a Biblically faithful pastor. His theology is rooted firmly in the Scriptures, ensuring that his revivalistic fervor is always anchored in sound doctrine. He possesses a rare ability to discern the movement of the Spirit in a room, leading congregations into authentic encounters with God while remaining humble and teachable.
Beyond his individual ministry, I want to offer my full endorsement of the "Fan the Flame" revivalistic prayer movement spearheaded by Brian. This movement is a vital expression of the heart of God for our current cultural moment. "Fan the Flame" is more than just a series of meetings; it is a dynamic, interactive worship experience designed to facilitate a genuine encounter with the Holy Spirit. Under Brian’s leadership, these gatherings provide a sacred space for believers to experience personal and corporate revival, breaking through spiritual dryness to find fresh fire for their calling.
I have witnessed the effectiveness of Brian’s leadership within this movement. He creates an
atmosphere where dynamic worship and prayer are not merely performances, but pathways to
the presence of God. I have seen lives transformed, callings clarified, and churches reignited
through the ministry of "Fan the Flame."
As his mentor, I fully endorse Pastor Brian Dessauer and this movement without reservation. He is a man of integrity, a servant of the Cross, and a powerful tool in the hands of the Almighty. I
believe any church, organization, or community that opens its doors to Brian and "Fan the Flame" will be profoundly blessed and spiritually enriched.
Grace and Peace,
Rev. Michael Thompson Ordained Elder

It is my pleasure to write a recommendation for Bro. Brian. I am Pastor Robert Boen, and I have been the Pastor at Salus Church for 45 years. I had the honor to be invited to Mars Hill for a weekend revival while Bro. Brian was lead Pastor at that location. He also came to Arkansas where he ministered in our church. I witnessed firsthand his dedication, commitment and passion for the ministry. He is very knowledgeable and moves within the Spirit of God in his ministry. I would not hesitate to recommend him for ministry in any revivals or meetings. I feel he would be a blessing to any church congregation.
Respectfully submitted,
Pastor Robert Boen
