Stuart Briscoe was born England in 1930, graduated from high school at the age of seventeen, and promptly embarked on a career in banking. He studied law, economics, and accounting in his spare time and eventually became personal assistant to the chief inspector of the bank. As he was doing all this, he was also preaching. For twelve years, preaching and banking kept him fully occupied. Then during the Korean War, he was drafted into the Royal Marines. In 1959, he and his wife left the business world to share in the ministry of the Torchbearers, a youth organization reaching out to the far corners of the world. About ten years later, Elmbrook Church in Brookfield, Wisconsin, asked him to be their pastor. The church has since grown to a weekly attendance in excess of seven thousand and has planted eight sister churches in the Milwaukee area. After thirty years as senior pastor at Elmbrook, he stepped down to assume the role of ministers-at-large on the church staff. The recipient of various honorary doctorates, he has preached in more than one hundred countries and is often invited to minister for pastors, missionaries, and church lay leaders on all continents. In his spare time he likes to read, run, and garden.
