Barb's Testimony
I was ten years old, when after a presentation in Junior Church by missionaries Stan and Mary Barthold who were serving in Japan, I realized I was a sinner, needing a Savior. I exchanged my life for His Life and received His Eternal Life.
It seems that from the beginning of this new life I had an interest in Missions and Missionaries. When Missions Conference time came each year I could hardly wait to meet these wonderful people from all parts of the world.
Through the years of our ministry this interest has continually been kindled and grown through various methods and means. Having Missions Conferences where we have served; maintaining personal relationships with missionaries; through planning, organizing, setting up conferences; and from personal visits to the fields of Victoria, Canada, Singapore and Vietnam my heart has been stirred and challenged to be an encourager to missionaries.
It's been a joy to be identified and involved in the Passion for Missions/Missionaries for the past 26 years in Calvary Baptist Church of San Francisco. Through all of these experiences, God has stretched our faith to the place where we have to submit and go through an unfamiliar door of ministry.
It's with great anticipation that we look forward to helping local churches with missions through conferences, mission trips, counseling, encouraging missionaries at home and on their fields and just be available "To be used of God" however and wherever He desires to use us.
