Thomas Gilbert
Pastor

Pastor Tom was born in Seattle, Washington and grew up just out side of there in the town of Federal Way where he was very active in his Presbyterian Church. 

At the end of high school, Tom went into the US Navy where he became part of the Serviceman’s Center, an outreach ministry of the Southern Baptist Church in San Diego.  After leaving the military, he headed to Grand Rapids Michigan where he became a member in the Congregational Church and attended the Grand Rapids School of Bible and Music. 

Being motivated by his aunt and mother, Tom soon left the school and bounced from church to church, landing in Kalispell, Montana.  It was here that God used Tom for the first time to minister to others.  Eventually Tom came back to Washington and, on his way, the Lord spoke to him in a vision.  God told him that he would be a servant unto His people. 

Soon Tom met his lovely wife, Nancy and together they moved to Pahrump, Nevada.  Two weeks later the Lord sent His vision again and they began to lead several Bible studies.  Tom became a lay chaplain and not long after, the vision came for the third time.  Following God’s directions they moved to another church, where he was ordained and served for 3 years as an Associate Pastor before starting Truth In Life Ministries International.  Tom and Nancy have spent much of their time traveling and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ to any and all who’ll listen along the way. Tom is now Lead Pastor of Truth In Life Church and co-founder of the Truth In Life School of Ministry, both in Pahrump Nevada.

Will Zak
Associate Pastor

Pastor Will was born into a large Christian family.  His father was Catholic and, his mother stood beside him (in agreement) concerning church and raising six children in the church.

Will spent five years in Parochial School; was baptized and confirmed Catholic. After graduating High School he spent six years in the Navy on a large oilier in Viet Nam. where he was married and divorced during his tour.

Pastor Will found his life in disarray for 35 years until our Father in Heaven sent him a wonderful woman and, with much help from a close Christian brother led Will back to Christ.  Since then God has changed his purpose in life.  First, He was shown brotherly love and was a part of a help ministry. For a season he was an usher, greeter, and secretary at Body of Christ's Non-denominational Church in Pacific, Washington.  While there, Will was accepted as a student in Ministry Training Class.  After 11 months of class, he asked God to use him in the ministry.  His thoughts were as a missionary in Africa or South America serving as a support team member on a Mercy Ship, i.e., hospital ship.  As always, God had a more explicit idea for Will and his wife Jeanie. On a visit to a Navy Ship Reunion they were introduced to Pastor Tom and his wife Nancy.  It was then that they knew that God's plan was for them to move to Pahrump, Nevada, and serve as Assistant Pastor at Truth In Life Ministries International as well as the Director of their School of Ministry and other needs of support.  Will and Jeanie are also the Chaplain in the local Christian Motorcycle ministry and the Oasis Food Ministry Outreach.
