About Us

Barbara was born in Whittier, California and grew up in a "Protestant" home. Her mother had been raised Catholic, and her father a Protestant. In her early years, church was attended by her family mostly on holidays. The church of her youth was a "Friends" church, where she did learn about Jesus. She recalls when the church showed "The Greatest Story Ever Told". It made a huge impression on her as a child. In fact, when she was about seven years old, after years in a home with seven children, and an alcoholic father, she went on a serious search for God. She got up one Sunday morning and walked for what seemed like miles to a church she'd passed many times when in the car with her mom. That started a quest to find where she "fit in" and could attend regulary. She knew Jesus was the answer to what she saw as a very painful world. When the movie "A Thief in the Night" came out, she saw it with her youth group at her Methodist Church. That was it! No more searching. She was forever and deeply in love with Jesus and wanted nothing else but for Him to be Lord of her life. She had attended many churches, Methodist, Lutheran, Non-denominational, and even a very short stint seeing what Mormonism was all about. She attended Azusa Pacific University majoring in Christian education. She sang in every choir she could. She even worked as the cantor for her husband's Catholic church. But it always came back to Jesus. Just Jesus. She graduated from college with several degrees and has had several careers. Behind it all, has been the purpose of getting to know, love and help the people with or for whom she worked. Barbara was married for decades to her first husband, had 3 children, and "inherited" four from his first marriage (his wife passed away). She is now married to the second love of her life, David, and the two share music and their deep love for Jesus.
