Prisons are where society tries to lock up problems. What's the
answer? Check the current statistics. Will we just continue to lock
people up until more are behind bars than not? Will those of us in
the free world continue to pay and pay and pay to house more and
more criminals? Where will it stop? Will it ever end? It can. At Mike
Barber Ministries, we have proven that lives of men and women
can be turned around. We see it every day. We reach them through
crusades and outreaches, our “Weekends of Excitement.” and
through our Satellite Ministry, we have the opportunity to speak to
over 400,000 inmates at once. Soon, we hope to have a satellite
dish in every prison in the nation, to provide not only spiritual help,
but educational programs as well. We have found that when
people have a sense of worth and a feeling of purpose for their
lives, they will naturally begin to work toward fulfilling it. All they
need is a chance. Will you help us give them one?.

Coaches Outreach
Coaches Outreach seeks to build coaches of conviction by encouraging and
equipping coaches and their spouses to have Christ-like character through
practical application of biblical truth.
Coaches Outreach grew out of Bible study that was started at the Texas High
School Coaches Association in 1987. This study still meets to this day.
The first Summer Marriage Conference was held in 1990 with 18 couples.
Encouraged with the lives that were changed at the 1990 retreat, Coaches
Outreach continued to grow as a volunteer organization until 1996. Many coaches
felt that Coaches Outreach should be a full time ministry. Tommy Maxwell was
asked to be the Executive Director and Coaches Outreach started as a full time
ministry in June of 1997.
Since then, Coaches Outreach has grown to have Summer Marriage Conferences
in Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, with hundreds of couples in attendance each
year. Approximately 1900 coaches are currently participating in Coaches Outreach
Bible studies, with more added each spring and fall.

Our family's dream is to build a camp for children, families and educators that
depend on American Sign Language (ASL) as a primary means of communicating.
Heart Sign recognizes that American Sign Language (ASL) is the backbone of the
American deaf culture. It is also used by many people with different special needs.
Providing an opportunity to socialize through this necessary form of communication
is one of our main goals. Other communities have embraced this language for its
clients (autistic, cognitively delayed), yet their families and caregivers more often
than not, are not trained to use ASL. Thus, our family has a dream to build a camp
for kids, respite facility for the families and training center for all who have embraced
ASL, but have limited access to high level training.
Yes, we have a Dream. We have donated the land that will one day allow us to fulfill
this dream. And we are well on our way to learning all we must learn to create our
Dream in a responsible way. We are so excited to partner with our neighbors Camp
Aranzazu to create our first pilot camp for kids who are deaf. Camp Aranzazu will
allow us to focus on programs and not capital campaigns as they have a wonderful
facility built to accommodate all special needs kids! This spring we will launch our
first Camp Heart Sign with the help of Camp Aranzazu and their wonderfully
experienced staff!
We are raising funds today for scholarships for the campers who will benefit greatly
from this experience. If you or a child you know ever attended camp, there really is no
explanation needed other than the kids in our part of the state cannot afford the
funds for extracurricular activities like a weekend or week at camp. So, please join
us as we begin the work of changing the world, one scholarship, one child, one
family at a time.
