Baptist College of Ministry is pleased to introduce staff evangelist Jonathan Barber. Jonathan graduated from BCM in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in Bible. God began leading him into evangelism during his college years. He had several opportunities to travel with evangelist Jim Van Gelderen and Minutemen Ministries conducting "The War of Special Forces," a ministry to both Christian school and public school teenagers. Through these opportunities, God began to burden Jonathan toward the field of evangelism.

After graduating in 2005, he married his wife, Rebecca, and began working on his master's degree at Baptist College of Ministry and Theological Seminary. The Barbers had another opportunity to travel in evangelism with Dr. Jim Van Gelderen in 2007-08. Jonathan was involved during these months in preaching Christian school chapels as well as assisting Dr. Jim with revival meetings. Jonathan also used his trumpet in the meetings, and Rebecca worked with the children. Having completed their travels with the Van Gelderens, Jonathan graduated from Seminary with a master of arts degree in Bible. The Barbers took to the road again, leading the BCM Evangelistic Team throughout the summer. They were used of the Lord in local churches across the country as they ministered by means of Vacation Bible School, and the Cola-Clash outreach to teenagers. God used that summer as the final confirmation of His will concerning Jonathan's entering evangelism.

Jonathan now travels with his wife as the staff evangelist for Baptist College of Ministry. He will continue to lead the BCM Evangelistic Team in the summer and fall, and will preach in churches and Christian schools across the country. Whether preaching at a Cola-Clash rally, a Christian school retreat, or a local church revival meeting, Jonathan's burden is to see the saints revived, and the lost saved to the Glory of God.
