Partner Profile: The Barber Family

Meet Alan and Sherry Barber. We originally met when Lindsey first started going to Trinity Christian Academy in 10th grade. Soon after Lindsey became great friends with their daughter Shannon. Shannon and Lindsey have been friends ever since.


Alan and Sherry have come alongside of us as we go to the mission field in so many ways. They are a couple who have decided to partner with us through prayer, finances, and service, which is an incredible blessing to us.

On a monthly basis the Barbers have shown us that they are behind us by joining our prayer and financial support team. They exemplify the 3 John verse of: "Therefore we ought to support such people, so that we become coworkers in cooperation with the truth." They are truly coworkers alongside of us, because through their prayers and monthly support they are helping us serve the Lord and His people in Uruguay and Spain.

Another way that they joined our team is through service. Sherry is an extremely talented artist, who has a creative eye for projects. (You can check out some of her work at http://www.stonemanorpress.com )

She has made two display books for us to use as we present our ministry to churches, youth groups, individuals, and other ministries. Through the beautiful display of pictures from Spain, other individuals have gotten a chance to see a snapshot of what life and ministry is like in Spain. Many of you have seen it as we share our stories about Spain!

Thank you Alan and Sherry for your heart for the Lord's work here in the US, but also across the world. It is a privilege to have you on our team and serving alongside of us in so many ways!



Meet Shannon and Noah Barber. Shannon has been a huge encouragement to us as we go out to the field -- helping us with various tasks that help us be more efficient and productive as we continue with Partnership Development. Do these look familiar?:





Most of you have received one of our partnership brochures and prayer cards. Shannon has spent many hours paper clipping prayer cards to the brochures, and making sure we have them ready in time for our visits to churches, youth groups, and meetings. She has made it possible for us to focus more time on meeting with churches and individuals, while helping out our ministry big time! Noah keeps us smiling and is extremely cute! He usually "helps" Shannon out when she's trying to work on the brochures too! Next time you see your prayer card or brochure, you'll know that Shannon has had a huge role in helping us out!

Time with Family in NC

Visiting family is one of my favorite things to do in the whole world. In November, we had a chance to spend some time in NC visiting my three brothers, their wives, and children as well as my parents and many others. Somehow we never really get enough time with them which is a good sign to me that we enjoy our time with them.

This year in particular I was amazed by how relationships even with people you have known your entire life change but in many ways remain the same. One notable example was how blown away we were by the encouragement and generosity we experienced while with my brothers and their wives in NC.

Our little (or not so little anymore) nieces and nephews were so much fun. It is always tough to leave them as they now refer to us as Uncle Moose and Aunt Lindsey.
