Alan V. Pearson

In what Alan calls his "Saul to Paul" transformation, this self-described former atheist, former skeptic and former agnostic, repented and put his trust in his savior Jesus Christ in 1992. Since the instant God revealed Himself to Alan while he traveled alone on a west central Illinois highway on a pre-dawn February morning, his life has never been the same. Alan's radical conversion is a powerful story of God's love, grace and power.

Alan has led numerous Bible study groups, founded and led a large and active Mens' Ministry for his church, been an active part of church VBS and drama teams and has served in a variety of leadership roles for the churches he has been a member of. He is an active volunteer for "Racing With Jesus" and also serves numerous ministries as a volunteer fundraising consultant. In addition to "Hell's Best Kept Secret," Alan loves to share his personal testimony titled "The Skeptic" as well as a message titled "The Full Meaning of the Cross." Videos of Alan delivering both can be seen HERE. Alan and his wife Kim live in Southern California, they have six grown children and six grandchildren.
