"The Chrisagis Brothers are leading the way in good, clean entertainment for the entire family."

Identical twins; Brian and Shawn Chrisagis, were miraculously healed from life-threatening allergies when they were 7-years-old. Now in their thirties, the pair are the founders of Chrisagis Brothers Ministries, and the Good News Gang Variety Series, which airs on KTV Christian children's network.

Both licensed ministers, Brian and Shawn share their powerful testimony, and also minister fulltime to all ages at churches, conferences, seminars, and on TV worldwide.

According to a Brimstone Services press release, the Chrisagis brothers were born with life-threatening allergies to the sun, grass, most food, and some clothing. They spent the first two years of their life in an incubator, and when they were brought home, the windows of their house had to be bricked in to protect them from the sun. The only foods they could eat were soybeans, milk, sardines, rice cakes, and peanut butter.

When the boys were seven, their mother, Marguerite, who was in a wheelchair and on oxygen as a result of a serious heart condition caused by rheumatic fever, was healed at a Full Gospel Businessmen's meeting. On instruction from the preacher, when she got home she prayed for her sons who too were immediately healed. The doctor who confirmed the brothers were completely healed and that their mother had a "new heart," became a born-again believer marking the beginning of the twin's powerful ministry.

The Good News Gang Variety Series has become so popular that sixteen of the Good News Gang characters have been manufactured as boxed plush toys, each with a character-building story and song CD.

The brothers wrote the critically-acclaimed Good News Gang Variety Series for Sky-Angel Network. Their first series on the network, The Good News Network, which they wrote, directed and hosted for three years, won two educational awards. "The Chrisagis Brothers are leading the way in good, clean entertainment for the entire family," says Kathleen Johnson, Vice President of Programming at Sky-Angel Network.

The Good News Gang [is made up of] humorous and loveable characters, who all live in the Good News Kingdom. Every day in the Kingdom involves issues such as honesty, giving, self-esteem, and love. Each of the Good News Toys comes with a different story teaching one of these character-building skills. The most popular of the gang, Whoozee-Whatzit, teaches self-worth. "Whether you have dark or light hair, have dark or light skin, or are tall or short, Whoozee teaches that each and every one of us is special for who we are," says Brian.

Brian and Shawn will be releasing two new toy lines, The Smokey Mountain Pals and The Rockhounds, in 2007. Each of these toys will contain voice-box recordings of fun facts and value teachings. Their children's book, The Mad-Cap Kingdom, which consists of seventeen stories teaching character-building skills with the brothers' Good News Gang characters, will also be released in 2007.
