Welcome

Gary and Tina Barrow serving in Germany

Tina and Gary both grew up in southern California and met in high school. Tina knew that Gary was not a Christian so she began to pray for him.  After about a year of praying, Tina had a chance to share the gospel with Gary and he gave his life to Jesus in 1979. Tina and Gary were married in 1984.

God opened doors for them to move to Oregon in 1995 to help a Calvary Chapel get established in Corvallis. As the young church grew, Gary labored faithfully in many practical areas, in addition to serving as an elder and leading the men’s ministry for several years. While at Calvary Corvallis Gary was also involved in a number of outreaches to Eastern Europe.

Eventually Gary and Tina sensed the Lord calling them to move their family to Europe permanently. After selling his Chiropractic practice, Gary and his family moved to Hungary in September, 2002. Their service in Hungary included a year of teaching at the Calvary Chapel Bible College in Vajta before moving to Esztergom to help with the church there. The Lord also opened doors for Gary to lead Bible studies in neighboring Slovakia, help with church plants in Hungary and Slovakia and teach conversational English in high schools located in Hungary and Slovakia. For eight years Gary lead Bible/English camps in Great Briton resulting in many Hungarian youths giving their hearts to the Lord.

In December of 2006, Gary and his family moved to Germany to be part of what God is doing through the Calvary Chapel movement in that nation.

Gary and Tina are currently working to plant Calvary Chapel Ansbach and reach out to the American military, the German people and the international students in the area, through personal evangelism and solid verse by verse teaching through the entire Bible.
