Hal Sacks Biography
Element_6111a.jpg
HAL SACKS is a prophetic voice and successful convener to church, business, and governmental leaders.

Hal was raised in an orthodox Jewish home and gave his life to Christ his Messiah in 1970. His professional career began in television, film and commercial production. After 27 years in the entertainment industry, Hal left the TV and motion picture world to begin a non-profit Christian organization which today is known as BridgeBuilders International Leadership Network.

This apostolic work, based in Phoenix, Arizona, is mobilizing Christian leaders for intercession, spiritual awakening, and city transformation. Over the past 24 years God has used Hal to help Christian leaders overcome dividing walls of denominational, cultural, and generational differences.

Recently Hal has reentered the marketplace as a commercial Realtor. Under his leadership, BridgeBuilders International has expanded its sphere of influence to embrace the ministry to Christian professional, business and civic leaders - empowering them to establish God?s Kingdom in their workplace and world.

Hal serves on the apostolic leadership council of the United States Strategic Prayer Network (USSPN).

After more than a decade in the trenches of local church prayer, she founded the Local Church Prayer Coordinators Network, a first-of-its-kind organization that trains, encourages, and connects prayer leaders throughout Arizona and beyond.

Cheryl's heart is to see God's people consumed with a passion for Christ that spills over into their world - saturating homes, churches, businesses, schools, and government. She travels extensively establishing prayer leaders' networks and speaking on personal, local church, and citywide prayer- to the end that revival might sweep our nation.

Cheryl holds her ministerial license and ordination through Word of Grace Church, Mesa, Arizona, the 5,000-member church where she first began mobilizing church prayer.

Cheryl and her husband Hal are co-founders of BridgeBuilders Int'l Leadership Network based in Phoenix, Arizona where the couple reside.
