I first met and heard brother Gale Nelson when he was on the Greater Midwest Lectureship in Dayton, Ohio, several years ago. He preaches for the Miami Gardens Church of Christ in Miami, Florida, and serves as one of the elders. Brother Nelson has a passion for preaching. He has spoken across the country in gospel meetings and on lectureships. He currently serves as President and CEO of Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Miami. He is also on the National Board of Directors for Lads to Leaders.
Brother Nelson was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and grew up in Toledo, Ohio. He was baptized at the Ridgewood Church of Christ in Toledo. In 1992 he received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of Toledo. He earned a Master of Science Degree in Management and Administration in Educational Programs at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He graduated with honors from Nova Southeastern University in academic research.
He has been married to Shauntell for 30 years. They have four children: Gale II, Jordan, Alexis, and Brandon. They are all members of the church.
