Home Going of Olin Barker

I have been on the road all weekend and only got home a little while ago. I would have liked to have gotten this on here sooner.

On Saturday, July 21st at 7:50 p.m, Olin Barker, father of our North American Field Director Allen Barker, went home to the with the Lord he faithfully served and preached about for so many years. Bro. Olin had battled cancer the last of his life. Bro. Olin Barker has left a great legacy with his son, grandson and great grandson preaching the gospel of Jesus.

We ask that you please pray much for the whole Barker family and especially for Brother Olin's widow. I don't know her name but I know she is facing some lonely days ahead. It's seems the longer we live with someone, the closer we get and the more we miss them, but God can and will meet her needs.

The funeral is tomorrow, Tuesday the 24th, at 2:00 p.m. at Ronda Baptist Tabernacle in Ronda, NC.

Bro. Allen Barker's email address is, allenbarker@mwbm.org
