JASPER GATES AREA

Barb had such a desire to understand what her purpose was in life. One day a neighbour stopped by and gave her a bible; it wasn't long after she  called out to God "If you are real, show me!".  

In  1982 she was invited to a Leighton Ford Crusade where she heard the gospel. 

The topic was, "The Love Of God".  She gave her heart to Jesus that night.

In the last 30+ yrs Barb has been telling children and adults alike that God, the creator of heaven and earth wants only to have a personal relationship with us through His Son Jesus. She loves to praise, pray and read, spend time with her family, and camp in the summer! Since 2001 she has worked in the office of People's Church as the admin and bookkeeper and continues to fulfil her purpose every chance she gets.
