Brian was born and raised in St. Louis, MO and is the sixth of seven children. His parents Robert Pruitt Sr. and Barbara Blair pastored Bethel Temple Church of Christ Holiness USA. Brian was saved through their ministry and baptized by his dad. He began to sense the call of God on his life during his teenage years but walked in it on January 11, 1998 in Mackenbach, Germany at the age of 21.  Brian served as a worship leader for seven years at Refreshing Waters Worship Center in Kansas City, MO.

In 2004 Brian met his beautiful gift, Shanika and in 2005 they became husband and wife. In 2007, Brian, Shanika, and their two children Marquis and Donnika, moved to Columbus, Ohio on a word they received from the Lord. This move of faith was an Abraham and Sarah experience where God began revealing His plan for their lives. On December 31, 2007, Brian and Shanika were ordained by Apostles CJ and Lanita Gaul at Living Word Worship Center. They served as the Prophets of the House, Associate Pastors, and Youth Pastors. It was that same night that the Lord released them to begin their ministry, Elisha’s House The Online Church. In 2009 they were affirmed to the office of Apostle. On September 7, 2010, they officially changed the name of the ministry from Elisha’s House to New Wind International and planted it in St. Louis, MO.

Apostles Brian Pruitt is an international speaker, walking in the gifts of God.  His mission is to release the prophetic wind of the Lord, to set the captives free, and to preach the gospel of the kingdom to the lost. Although he functions heavily in the prophetic, he walks in the apostolic anointing. Signs, wonders, and miracles do follow him as he releases radical prophetic worship.
