SPEAKER: DAMIAN LONG, Small Groups Pastor at Park Street Church in Boston
Damian is a graduate of Harvard University in 2000 where he was also a starter and captain on the basketball team. After graduating college Damian joined Cru staff and served with Athletes in Action in Kazakhstan. During those years Damian played on the Kazakh national team and started and directed a basketball school called Drive School of Basketball. He impacted hundreds of young men for Christ and used his talents on the court to glorify the Lord. Damian and his family returned to Boston a few years ago and left staff with AIA to become the Minister of Small Groups and Adults at Park Street Church.
Damian was born in Spokane, WA and now resides in the Boston area with his wife Grace and 3 children. He is hilarious, steadfast for the Lord, wise and still can go on the basketball court. The Browns have a long history with Damian as he was a student when they were interns with Cru in Boston. Get prepared for some powerful messages and lots of laughter from Damian!
