Hi! My name is Dan Alban. Welcome to my site. I have been a student minister for the past 12 years in every capacity (volunteer, part time, bi vocational and full time). I was born in the suburbs of Philadelphia to Don and Joanne Alban. My dad has been in ministry since before I was born. We were raised in a strong Christian home. I came to know Christ as my Savior at age 5. It was Easter Sunday and my family was attending church at Victory Baptist Church in Bristol, TN. As I entered my teens, I went through a period of spiritual apathy. I had lost my focus on what it meant to be a follower of Christ. It was at Word Of Life Bible Institute where God shook my world and got my attention. After reading through Romans, I refocused my life to follow Christ. It was also there that I heard God calling me into ministry. April 20, 1999 was the day that God showed me his desire for me to enter student ministry. The Columbine school shooting had a tremendous impact on my life. The testimonies of both Rachel Scott and Cassie Bernall lit a fire in my soul. Since then, I have served at Ephrata Bible Fellowship Church, Graterford Bible Fellowship Church, Hope Community Church in Willow Grove, PA, and Oak Ridge Baptist Church. They say if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. I haven't worked for 12 years! Student Ministry is my passion! |
