“PROCLAIM HOPE!” is not about me or my organization. It is about a growing movement in the Body of Christ, throughout the nation to awaken God’s people to all that Jesus is as the Son of God and to refocus everything the Church does on a more comprehensive vision of the full extent of His supremacy.

Formerly president of Concerts of Prayer International (COPI) and past chairman of America’s National Prayer Committee, David Bryant has been defined by many as a “messenger of hope” and a “Christ-proclaimer” to the Church throughout the world over the past 35 years.

David has played a widely visible role in the emergence of an unprecedented, worldwide prayer movement by capitalizing on city-wide mass rallies; national and international conferences; training videos, seminars and manuals; development of leadership coalitions; the mentoring of younger leaders; and media outreach (both TV and radio). Many testify, however, that his key contribution to this movement always has been to help set its primary agenda: the hope of a God-given awakening among God’s people to the full extent of the supremacy of God’s Son and strategic implications of this for the renewal and mission of God’s people.

Above all, David Bryant is helping Christian leaders work together to foster a "National Campaign of Hope", committed to these four goals:

1. To proclaim a more comprehensive vision of Christ and His supremacy throughout the Church.

2. To awaken for all believers a life-changing hope focused on this larger vision of Christ and His supremacy.

3. To empower the ministry of Christians and churches by helping them recover and apply this dynamic hope in Christ so as to mobilize God's people to share in new advances of His Kingdom.

4. To equip Christian leaders to become "Messengers of Hope" and Christ-proclaimers who are able to replicate with others the same mission: proclaim, awaken, and empower.

Foundational to this campaign is David's seminal 476-page book on Christology titled CHRIST IS ALL! - A Joyful Manifesto on the Supremacy of God's Son (available at www.ChristIsAllBook.com). It incorporates 3-books-in-1: The first volume overviews the supremacy of Christ. Volume two analyzes the "crisis of supremacy" inside the American church. Volume three outlines practical strategies for implementing a "Campaign of Hope" anywhere that confronts and cures the crisis within churches and communities.

A popular speaker and author, David Bryant holds graduate degrees in both Biblical Studies and Missiology from Wheaton (IL) Graduate School and Fuller Theological Seminary. A senior pastor in Ohio for six years and a missions trainer for three years in southern California, he was also minister-at-large with the Madison (WI)-based Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship for twelve years. In 1988 David founded Concerts of Prayer International and guided it for the next 15 years before launching PROCLAIM HOPE! in 2003. David chaired America’s National Prayer Committee for nine years and currently holds a leadership role in a number of national coalitions related to prayer, revival and evangelism.

In addition to his other writings are five key books: In the Gap: What It Means To Be a World Christian; With Concerts of Prayer: Christians United for Spiritual Awakening and World Evangelization; The Hope at Hand: National and World Revival for the 21st Century; and Messengers of Hope: Becoming Agents of Revival for the 21st Century, along with his most recent Christ Is ALL! A Joyful Manifesto on the Supremacy of God's Son.

David and his wife Robyne were high school sweethearts in their hometown, Massillon, Ohio. They now call metropolitan New York/New Jersey their home. Their three grown children, Adam, Bethany and Benjamin, were adopted as infants from India.
