bRYANN TREJO

Pastor Bryann Trejo, born on July 4, 1980, in Corpus Christi, TX, is one of two identical twins. He lived in Texas through his early years before moving to Chattanooga, TN, at age 13. During his teenage years, he became involved in street life and gangs, leading to multiple stays in juvenile detention centers for armed robbery and drug trafficking. By his twenties, his life was marked by frequent incarcerations. At 23, he faced a 30-year sentence for two attempted murders in retaliation for an attack on his twin brother by a rival gang. Miraculously, the charges were reduced to aggravated assault, and he was sentenced to 7 years, serving 4 before being released on probation.

By the age of 27, Bryann had spent much of his adult life in prison. After his release, he returned to Chattanooga to be with his children and later moved to Fort Wayne, IN, to be near his twin brother. In May 2013, his brother was tragically murdered in a retaliatory shooting linked to a recent juvenile death. Despite the circumstances, Bryann chose to respond with love and forgiveness instead of revenge. This profound transformation became the foundation of his message, which he now shares globally as a testament to the teachings of Jesus.
