God allowed a stroke & mental illness to get my attention
Allan Gallant suffered a stroke in July of 2017. It was so severe, the doctor said it was a miracle he survived. He should have been paralyzed on his right side, but God spared his life and body. Allan did suffer paralysis; his voice and speech were gone completely. He was in shock. God restored his voice, but different from what it was. He has what is called “aphasia”, a degenerative communication disorder. The very thing that gave him purpose from preaching and singing, changed. After recovering from the stroke and going through speech therapy, he noticed he was struggling deeply with panic and anxiety issues. He ended up in the mental health hospital for 10 days, and at one point wanted to end his life. Through his recovery, God gave him and his wife a burden for people who suffer with mental health disorders. The burden shaped into developing a ministry to focus on the stigma of mental health. Allan has been accepted as a Chaplain with The Fellowship and has launched their ministry called AGORA Network Ministries which seeks to equip, educate and engage the local church to the mental health stigma inside and outside its walls. www.agoranetworkministries.com
