Barbara Patterson with Jaci Velasquez

I am a graduate of Fountaingate School of the Prophetic with an A.A.  I also graduated from Wagner Learning Institute with an A.A. in Practical Ministry.  I am a licensed minister through Freedom Fellowship along with my husband.  We are on staff at Freedom Fellowship and we have been pastors for our home group for the church.

Here is a chronological order of ministry experience:

I was saved around ten years old when I attended a Lutheran Camp.  In 1991 I gained a new love and passion for the Lord when I was baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Since being filled with the Holy Spirit I have taught Preschool and Kindergarten Sunday school.  I was part of Mike Clark’s staff for worship with elementary age children.  I would teach worship and provide an atmosphere were they could connect with God.  This ministry was conducted at Springs Of Life Church in California in the Children's Ministry.

The Lord sent me to Tucson where I have gone faithfully to Freedom Fellowship since July 31 1997.

I continue to provide leadership at Freedom Fellowship.  I had a home cell group that I pastored with my husband from August 2003 to January 2004.

I have been a Country Assistant for Teen Mania in a short term mission trip to Guatemala.  Assisting the Project Director in operations was my main job description.  I escorted one hundred youth and about seven adults through international lines.  I did the shopping, assisted the sick youth, went to the emergency room, and took care of insurance forms, tickets and passports.  I encouraged and ministered to youth and adults. The later was the best part.

I just want to be accessable to God to do His will and Glorify Him.

Thanks for all you do for Team Tucson.
Be Blessed!
