Born in New Mexico and raised in a military family, Pastor Brooks lived in several states, including a few years in Germany. Living on military bases, he formed friendships with kids of all different colors, and saw that families of every color were sacrificing for our country. He saw the flag-draped caskets bearing heroes of every color of skin, and learned to respect and honor each one the same. Therefore it was natural for him, when he became a pastor, to strategically build a church that represents every race. He often shares of his pleasure in seeing a congregation that is representative of the colors in heaven.
