ARC – Apostolic Resource Center is a network of churches, missionaries and para-church ministries of which Fresh Oil Ministries International became a member in June of 2009.
Brian & Candice Simmons were called by God to pastor in New England while working as missionaries in the jungles of Central and South America. For seven years they planted village churches among the indigenous tribes. As linguists and translators, they assisted in translating the New Testament into the Kuna language.
Formerly Senior Pastors of Gateway Christian Fellowship in West Haven, Connecticut, Dr. Simmons is Founder and Director of Apostolic Resource Center. With a clear prophetic gift, signs and wonders have accompanied their ministry for many years. Brian travels nationally and internationally laying apostolic groundwork to see God unite the Church in passion toward the Son of God, and transform her so she may reveal Jesus Christ as the Bridegroom King. With a number of revelatory books already inspiring believers to delve more deeply into character development and passionate love for the Lord, Pastor Brian’s delight in living for Jesus is viral. We affectionately refer to him as “the King of the $50 Bunny Trail” – even when his presentations take a step away from his intended topic, one sentence can serve as a catalyst for personal change in the hearer.
Pastor Candice is a well of wisdom clothed in a true and natural mother to the Body. Although her insights, dreams, prophetic words and Word observations qualify her for elevated status among Kingdom giants, her reachable ease embodies the sweetness of the Savior. Time disappears when Pastor Candice begins to share her history of ministry and faith; truly a humbling and fascinating journey.
Brian serves as a member of Harvest International Ministries Apostolic Team under Dr. Che Ahn and is a member of the International Coalition of Apostles led by Dr. C. Peter Wagner. We are very blessed to be connected with ARC and the Simmonses.
