Origin of the name Brother Bear

Many of you that know me may be wondering: Who is Brother Bear? Isn't that Barak(pronounced BEAR-uck) Bendixen? And many of you may also know me as Bear.

The name Brother Bear has been chosen for my ministry name for the fallowing reasons: Since all those in God's family are brothers and sisters, It denotes that I am Christian. It's easy to remember, easy to spell, and Bear has been my nickname since before I can remember.

Yes, my actual name is Barak Bendixen.
