Varian Dean is passionate about equipping the Kingdom of God to fulfill the will of God here on earth. In ministry he draws inspiration from Ephesians 4:11-13:

“And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a full grown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:”

Varian has been actively involved in ministry since 1999. He initially became interested in missions in 2002 on a short-term mission trip to Mexico. Since then Varian has served in Spain and Nigeria and has carried the love of the Father to 23 nations. Currently residing in Chicago, IL, Varian is working earnestly to expand the work of the kingdom of God. His efforts are to continue sharing God’s love with people in the least reached parts of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
