A Message from the Desk of Tim Barker:
My heart has always been about doing the Lord's work and bringing the lost to Christ.
Many years ago, I worked the North Texas District's children's camps several summers while in college. I saw the spiritual need - even in children from church homes - and I was motivated to make the ministry my calling.
Today, I am privileged to serve in the offices of the South Texas District of the Assemblies of God, and my heart hasn't changed.
I want to be about the Lord's work. This book is another opportunity God has provided for me to share with you the conviction and burden for the lost Christ has laid upon my life.
Tim R. Barker, D. Min.
