Aaron M. Brewster
Ambassador. Husband. Father. Pastor. Counselor. Author. Friend.

Having moved over 20 times, Aaron grew up a little bit of everywhere. This lifestyle implanted a love for adventure, longing for change, but also a seemingly contradictory loyalty for that which endures.
And through all of the ebb and failure of his time on earth, God has been the enduring King Who faithfully continues refining Aaron for this grand and glorious adventure called life. Immediate FamilyOther than being adopted into His Creator's family, Johanna, Micah, and Ivy are God's greatest gifts to Aaron. He and Jo became one flesh on January 6th, 2006. Micah was born the following year, and Ivy was born two and a half years later; they are their parents' most prized possessions.
Aaron's greatest earthly mission is to glorify God by introducing his family to their Heavenly Father and equipping them for the work of the ministry. Extended FamilyAaron's parents live in Brevard, NC where they minister in their church and own a sewing workroom, Sew Fine by Design.
Aaron's sister, Jessica, is married to Jonathan Mair. Together they parent their 5 wonderful children. Jon, Jess, Anja, Ethan, Isaac, Olivia, and Logan all live at The Wilds Christian Camp and Conference Center in Brevard, NC where Jon is the Head Cook and Jessica manages the Cool Beans Coffee Shop. They also minister in the same church as Aaron's parents. Johanna's parents live in Indianapolis, IN and direct the Lifegate Tract Ministry that produces -- in various languages -- the God's Simple Plan of Salvation tract and the Peace tract series. They are also highly involved in their local church. |

Passions & Interests
During high school, Aaron purposed to know a little bit about everything and everything about a little bit. Though he never actually accomplished either of those goals, he did try his hand at numerous hobbies, toyed with various projects, attempted the oddest jobs, and experimented with unique activities. Below are just a lifetime-full:
He is quite passionate about all things necessary for life. He loves the outdoors, animal husbandry, and beekeeping. He's exceedingly happy when his hands are covered in dirt while gardening and food while cooking. He's also an avid student of health and wellness. He loves that God gave mankind everything they would need in creation to glorify Him as they eat and drink and care for the temple of the Holy Spirit.
He and his wife met while performing in theater and have spent quite the eventful hour on stage, in film, and over the internet. They both love acting, directing, and producing. Currently, Johanna owns and operates Far Away which allows her to fulfill every girls' dream of meeting a real-life princess!
The two are also musicians, painters, writers, singers, photographers, crocheters, whittlers, poets, knitters, readers, sewers, rock collectors, and appreciators of all things beautiful. One of the reasons they homeschool their children is so they can instill these passions into Micah and Ivy.
The Brewsters are a family of martial artists, white-water rafters, hikers, climbers, campers, repellers, skiers, bikers, campers, travelers, and all-around adventurers!
The family also loves playing games -- card games, tile games, board games, video games, and building games. If it can be played together, it's worth playing!
But then there's Aaron's oldest hobby. As a young boy he developed a love for illusion and magic. No, he's no wizard, but he always delights in entertaining strangers and friends with sleight of hand and the occasional mind-reading.
Still, there is no greater joy nor escalating drive than to introduce people to the sovereign King of all the Universe and our great Savior, Yahweh.
