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.
