About Brock Gill

While working at a sawmill as a young man, Brock felt that God wanted him to use illusions, escapes, and stunts to bring a message of hope to people. “Brock admits, “I just felt like it was what God was calling me to do.”

Since those first outreaches, God has taken Brock’s ministry across the United States and the globe, while  his  heart  for  the  lost  has  grown.  Understanding  that people today have short attention spans and a desire  to be entertained visually, he has  learned how to grab an audience  quickly  and  keep  them on the edge of their seats. Brock’s message for Christ is clear and effective. He has seen  God touch thousands upon thousands of lives through his ministry.
