Bio of Barb Perrine


Being born into a Christian home, Barb was exposed to the Gospel from an early age and throughout her life. As a result the things of God have always been important in her life. At the early age of five, Barb realized she would spend eternity in hell if she did not accept the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior. So, with haste, she asked forgiveness of her sins and invited Christ into her heart. It was with joy she started attending summer camp during her childhood and allowed God to work in her life. It was at camp that she dedicated her life to the Lord to use however he saw fit – wherever He might lead her.


Upon graduation from high school, Barb felt God was leading her to one day teach missionary children overseas. After completing a degree in mathematics education from Bob Jones University, God did not immediately open the door to teach missionary children. Instead He led her to teach at Calvary Christian School in Roseville, MI. All along the journey Barb knew God would one day open the door to teach MKs. His clear direction came after a six-week mission’s trip to Edinburgh, Scotland. One door after another opened as God led Barb to Baptist Mid-Missions and on to teach MKs at Fetzer Memorial Christian Academy in Lima, Peru.


Her 23 years of missionary service in Peru included teaching mathematics to MKs, becoming assistant administrator at the Academy, and working in a local church. Not only was she faithfully serving God at the Academy, but God was preparing her for His next phase in her life. After completion of her fifth term of missionary service in Peru, God has lead her to return to the US to work at Bibles International, as a financial and operational manager, and to watch over her mother as she grows older .

A Letter from Rich Zawadzki

Dear Pastor,
My name is Rich Zawadzki. I am the Senior Pastor of the Loomis Park Baptist Church in Jackson, MI. I am writing to share some wonderful news and to ask for your help in the work of the Lord.
 
I have the privilege of being Missionary Barb Perrine’s Pastor. Barb has been a missionary for over 23 years.  Barb has recently, partnered with the ministry Bibles International in an administrative capacity in their Grand Rapids, MI office. BI conducts conservative Bible translating through the local church in many countries where there simply is no Bible. What a ministry; getting the Word of God where currently it does not exist!

I would like to heartily recommend Missionary Barb Perrine to you and your church. No Pastor of an Independent Baptist Church has any authority to tell another pastor what to do; but could I ask, even beg you to consider having Barb to come to your Church and present her work to you and your people. I believe that if you’d meet her and see the wonderful work that BI is doing; that the Lord could work in your hearts to partner with us in supporting this wonderful missionary and wonderful ministry. Should you have any further question, or if I can be a blessing to you in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Your Friend,                           
Rich Zawadzki
