The act of encouraging others and strengthening them in the Lord was a passion of Bryan’s. Engaged in reaching out to others and continuing to point them to Jesus as their own personal hope and strength was what Bryan did. Don’t just talk about ones faith, act on one’s faith. His stance on life was best expressed in the following excerpt of his writing: “The enemy does not dare come anywhere near where the King of Kings is because the enemy is a defeated foe.” “If the enemy decides to attack…remember “he is already defeated”, the battle is not ours but Gods (2 Chronicles 20)” – Bryan Fly
