Barb Perrine: Ministry with Bibles International

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 .
