BRINSON BARKER

Picture
Brinson grew up in Valdosta, GA where he played football for the Valdosta High Wildcats winning national and state titles. Some leadership lessons he learned from this winning tradition still help guide him today. Brinson got married in 2000 to Lori Barker, shortly after he graduated from Rhema Bible Training Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Brinson and His wife Lori have been blessed with three energetic boys, Elijah, Asher, and Seth.  He served as an Associate Pastor/Youth Pastor at Christian Heritage Church in Lake City, Florida for five years. At that time, the Lord led him to step out and serve with Future Now, a faith-based evangelistic school assembly program for three years. In 2008, he was asked to join the staff at New Covenant Church in Valdosta, Georgia as an Associate Pastor over Evangelism and Young Adults. After serving at New Covenant for five years, Brinson and his family were called to serve overseas in Guatemala with Living Water International.  He and his family have lived and served as foreign and stateside missionaries for the last five years.  He has led and coordinated evangelism training workshops, conferences, and bible training schools in the local church.  His missionary call has recently brought him back to the States with a fresh passion to serve and equip the church as an evangelist, both at home and in the nations of the world.  He is involved in leadership in his local church and church networks, discipleship, and ministers in churches stateside and internationally. In 2017, He started LifeBridge Missions with a heart to equip, encourage, and inspire the body of Christ to engage the world around them with the gospel.
