Meet Evang. Bryan Bassett “BB”, Preacher & Gospel Artist
By James Kokulo Fasuekoi; Editor/Publisher
Unless one is imbued with spiritual discernment, he or she won’t easily tell at first glance who’s behind the name: “Bryan Bassett.” That’s simply because he especially loves to go casual on most of his Spiritual Journeys while winning souls for Christ.
Notwithstanding, on other occasions, including a couple of his online social media posts, he’s seen fully attired in a coatsuite and also in his official pastoral outfit.
Meeting Evangelist Bryan, one is almost reminded of a famous Minneapolis area soul-winning Gospel minister affectionately called Pastor “A.J.” whose target audience for winning souls involves mainly troubled street youths, including gangs!
And like Evangelist Bassett, Pastor “A.J.” almost always appears casual especially when it comes to winning souls for Christ. Exceptional to some degrees that “A.J.” would be willing to do everything possible and almost anything in order to win a lost soul even if it meant having him sagged just to minister the Gospels to gang members.
Isn’t such an act the kind of spirit that true Christ’s Followers in this age are supposed to be exhibiting in order to get many saved rather than to be judgemental thereby causing many souls to perish? So, can one see why so many people quickly felt a connection with Pastor AJ when he similarly preached at Spiritual Life and hosted a Men’s series years ago?
As Christians, we ought to be mindful and understand that our attitude alone could “draw” people nearer or send them away. Hence, one of the first steps to winning souls is that individual’s willingness to “get down to earth” and somehow place himself in others’ shoes, if need be, and avoid passing on a judgement, regardless the person’s appearance or cultural trait.
Of course, like “Pastor A.J.”, no doubt one is bound to notice the special calling that God has placed on the life of Evangelist Bryan Bassett, an ordained Minister, Preacher and a Gospel Artist, upon meeting him.
This truth manifested the moment he walked through the doors of Spiritual Life Church Sunday and Pastor Judy Fornara handed him a microphone.
In less than fifteen minutes, his electrifying Gospel songs had many standing on their feet dancing, praising, giving glory to Lord Jesus!
Pastor Bassett has a gifted voice. For many, he’s certainly in his own class in the Gospel music industry because his singing not only comes with power but is accompanied by an anointing power that touches lives in many ways.
When he sings, he’s not providing entertainment of some sort but is actually ministering to people’s souls and his official website crowns it this way: “Joyful in song and in word, you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll sing and you will be ready to come back for more!”
His brief Bio states that he originates from the Turks and Caicos Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Atlantic Ocean, located southeast of the Bahamas.
The son of pastors, according to his website, “Bryan Bassett’s love for the Lord started at an early age while singing in the church with his brothers and sisters.”
Soon, he would find his way thereafter to Freeport, a city in the Grand Bahamas where he began to do street-preaching, and after that, arrived in Florida and then to the Twin Cities of Minnesota where he spent over 30 years doing ministry works, according to his Bio.
He was once a member of Spiritual Life Church for many years at which time he traveled overseas, performing Godly tasks. He had earlier preached at Spiritual Life Church morning service.
According to information gathered from his official website by Global Ekklesia, his spiritual journey for 2021 is expected to take him to Israel, India and also Republic of Cameroon, in Africa, where he would minister to pastors and share the love of Jesus Christ with fellow believers.
