Fabian’s Story

With Bold Love Reaching the Lost, Making Disciples of the Nations
and Equipping the End-Times Church for the Great Commission

I grew up in a Christian home in Malta, then while working and pursuing a career in England, God intervened that set the course for the rest of my life.

The man at the train station

While in England few important events took place. One of which was one Sunday afternoon while waiting in a train station when returning home from a church service.

One man who was holding a big book in his arm was walking up to “talk” to people, then he came to me. After I realized that he came to me to share the gospel, I responded that I am a Christian and I had just come from a church service. I thought he would be excited to meet another Christian, but this was his response – “That’s good that you are a Christian, but look at all these young people. If they do not know God, they are going to hell when they die. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT IT??”

The encounter with that man, lead me to seek Jesus to do the change in my heart to live a life that matters in the light of eternity.

My first introduction to Revival

Shortly after that, Dr. Michael Brown came to preach at the church I attended in England. Dr. Brown’s message and testimonies of what God is doing in the Revival in Pensacola, FL deeply impacted me that I was determined to end the career I was pursuing, and travel to the U.S. to experience the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and attend the ministry school that Dr. Brown was leading.

Revival Fire

Since my arrival at the Revival in Pensacola, FL in the late nighties, I encountered Jesus over and over that has been going ever since. I experienced deep conviction of sin, true repentance, and Holy Spirit Fire that burns with First Love for Jesus and for people and the nations. Those years have set a Biblical foundation in my life of godly character, fear of the Lord, spiritual hunger, compassion for the lost and boldness to preach and demonstrate the gospel. “Once you have been in the fire, the smoke will not do.”

Meeting my wife and life long ministry partner

Meeting my wife and life long ministry partner
While living in Pensacola, FL, I met my Carol who has been my wife for twenty years. God’s choice is always the best. God truly chose Carol for me. She has shared with me the same devotion to Jesus and a laid down life to see Jesus glorified wherever He sends us.
While a student at the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry, God divinely introduced me to David another student who had just recently gotten saved. While in ministry school, David and I spent many hours together praying, seeking God together and preaching the gospel on the streets. This turned out to be a covenant relationship where years later, God lead David and I together with our families to move to Iraq and pioneer and lead the mission work since December 2012

Spiritual Dominion and Healing the Sick

An important part of my family’s journey was an immersion in the message of faith and dominion of John G. Lake. Working with Curry Blake of John G. Lake Ministries for two years introduced my wife and I to faith and dominion over sickness, disease and all the works of the enemy. My mission field at that time was hospitals and emergency waiting rooms. I learnt and witnessed God heal many kinds of sicknesses and perform miracles. This was an important foundation block that I needed for the rest of my life.

Muslims and the nations

While pursuing a life of faith and demonstrating the kingdom of God to the sick and oppressed, I found myself attending an “MBB Conference”. At this conference in 2008 God captured my heart for Muslims. God’s love went deep in my heart for Muslims.

Why we do what we do

At this conference in 2008, God not only captured my heart for Muslims but opened my heart to three things.

1. The rise of Islam and Muslims spreading (migrating) around the world.
2. What God is doing in the Muslim world.
3. The small percentage of “workers” in the Muslim world.

Brother Andrew once said, “The reason Muslims are moving to the West is because we refused to go to them.” We must reach Muslims with the gospel in their nations. This is the Great Commission!

Harvest among Muslims plays a major role in provoking the Jews to jealously (Romans 10:19-21) which will lead to Christ’s second return (Luke 13:34-35). Jesus is revealing Himself to Muslims around the world in dreams. This is preparing the hearts of Muslims to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We only have one life to live. Our life is not our own, we have been bought with a price, that is the blood of Jesus!

“as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” (Philippians 1:20-21)

Christ is coming soon! Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!

I have known Fabian for almost 25 years, and I can tell you without question that he is the real deal, boldly and fearlessly proclaiming Jesus to Muslims in the Middle East. When many are fleeing the region, Fabian, with his wife and family, have gone right into the lion’s den, serving the poor and hurting, winning the lost, making disciples, and raising up a house of prayer. If anyone is worthy of your support, Fabian Grech is

Fabian and Carol Grech are true missional pioneers. They are some of the most authentic, courageous, anointed leaders that I personally know. They lead with integrity and are truly on the front lines of the Great Commission in the Middle East. I cannot speak more highly of them and their ministry. I have personally witnessed the tremendous fruit of their ministry and I know lives that have been utterly transformed and discipled under their leadership. If you are looking to partner with those laboring on the frontlines of missions and revival, I recommend Freedom to Captives as excellent soil!

I have had the privilege of knowing Fabian for 10 years. I first met him and his family in the Middle East in 2014 where I came alongside to serve the team that he was helping lead and to serve alongside him in the work of expanding the Kingdom of God in a very unreached region of the world. Our friendship has remained and deepened over these years and I can confidently say, I have never met a man more faith-filled, a man of prayer and love for people, a man committed to building the Kingdom of God wherever he goes. The fruit I have witnessed through his ministry has been long-lasting and far-reaching, and his capacity to maintain a joyful and fiery faith speaks to his character and genuine love, which in these days of great shaking in the Body of Christ, is rare and of great value. I cannot recommend him more highly to all as a servant of the Gospel and as a dear friend.

Fabian, born out of the historic Brownsville Revival left all with his wife and family to serve the Muslims in the Middle East. I have been so honored to spend time with him and his team, see first hand his humble pursuit of Jesus, his abandonment to fasting and prayer, his courageous proclamation of the gospel and most precious to me is his leadership and care for my daughter and family that serve alongside him. His community, dwelling among the peoples is to me one of the bright lights of true incarnational and apostolic witness in the nations.

I've had the privilege of knowing Fabian for more than 25 years. His ministry was birthed out of the Brownsville Revival, and he has devoted his life to spreading the Gospel of Jesus to Muslims in the Middle East. Fabian is a genuine missionary, characterized by his commitment to prayer and profound love for people. His infectious passion and unwavering integrity inspire everyone he encounters. I have seen the remarkable impact of this ministry, and that is why our church family, Rochester Christian Church, has proudly partnered with Freedom to Captives for numerous years.
