Get to Know Barbie Baradi

Ministry Description

Since I got saved when I was 16 years old, my heartbeat has always been with young people and young professionals.

In our field, we have three main ministries - Camping Ministry, English Ministry, and Local Church Ministries.
I am the overall coordinator of both our Camping and English ministries. (You would want to hear more about these ministries!) I am mainly in charge of event coordination, data organization, media, other administrative tasks, student communication, teaching, discipleship, and counseling.

I have so many stories to tell from my experiences - learning the field's heart language, talking with people on the street, cultural immersion, realizations while on the field, and most importantly - the changed lives! We may be in a creative access / restricted and undisclosed country but the Lord has been doing great and mighty things here.

About Barbie

I grew up thinking I could save myself through my good works, educational attainment, and personal success. When I was 16 years old right before entering the university, God confronted me with the gospel that nothing besides faith in Jesus alone could save me. I decided to trust in Jesus that day and my life has never been the same. Changes were not easy but the Lord has been faithful. I know now why I am here on earth and that is to serve the Lord and give glory to God. Now, I have a personal relationship with God and it has been a wonderful journey until now.

I sensed the call to full-time ministry when I was in the Bible Institute while studying His Word. I realized that my life is too short and people are dying without having a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. God has lain in my heart to reach the unreached through cross-cultural missions.

Young people have a special place in my heart since I knew Jesus during this period. I believe discipling the young generation is an enormous task that is before the body of Christ today. Reaching the youth for the Lord will create a great impact on society and the world.

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless, I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
