On Sunday morning at Living Stones you can see a miracle in motion. That miracle is Pastor Al Jandl, who at 32 years of age met Jesus Christ and began a whole new life. Now God uses him to minister healing, transformation and victory to others.

Alcoholism, family violence and rejection were realities in Al Jandl’s childhood. Before he was born again, he experienced more destruction and heartache than most experience in a lifetime. Hopelessness manifested in dangerous thrill-seeking, drinking and fighting. By 1972, he had married four times and had several children.

While working as a grocery store manager, he was shot in the head during an attempted robbery. He had an out-of-body experience and, in the moments that followed, asked God to give him another chance.

A few years later, as his fourth marriage was disintegrating before his eyes, he sat on the side of his bed with a gun in his hand, determined to end his life. He asked God to keep him from hell and began to pray.

That's when it happened—God's presence hit him. He ran to the kitchen and threw away his alcohol and cigarettes and ran into his driveway yelling, "This is the happiest day of my life!" His circumstances had not changed, but Al Jandl had.

The rest of the story is about the power of God to transform us into victorious people. God called him to preach in 1974, just two years later. He founded Living Stones Church in Alvin, Texas in 1975. He married Judy in 1976. They have two daughters and three grandchildren.

Pastor Al has built Living Stones and its ministries into a strong and stable, family-focused congregation. His attention to the supernatural power of God and mastery in the area of finances makes his ministry unique and relevant to every generation. Today Living Stones’ 280-acre campus houses the church and its numerous ministries, Victory Camp and Conference Center, Living Stones K-12 Christian School and Precious Stones Preschool and Daycare.

Living Stones Church has combined a thriving local television program and streaming video to communicate God’s message of hope through Pastor Al to those who are far off and those who are near.

In 2004, he co-authored The Storehouse Principle, outlining God’s revolutionary plan for financial stability. Good reports are continually coming back to the church about its positive impact in the lives of people from every walk of life.

God uses Pastor Al to speak to the body of Christ about the future of the corporate church. Over the past few years, he has gained exciting revelation of the mystery of the Gospel that has prepared Living Stones for the work God is doing in the church. Pastor Al truly believes that God’s plan of bringing His people “... To the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ” is truly a promise we can believe in and act on today.

God is still restoring life for (and through) Al Jandl. The life that was destined to fail has been transformed by a God who doesn't want any to perish.
