I had the chance to connect with an amazing powerhouse of the Lord. This was a great opportunity to speak with this pillar of the faith. Born into the family of an alcoholic father, Barbara endured much abuse in her childhood, which would set her life on a path of alcoholism, drug addiction, promiscuity, and divorce. This caused her to deal with severe depression, suicide attempts, fear, and extreme anger most of her life. Though Satan meant this for her destruction, God now uses Pastor Barbara to minister inner healing and deliverance to those who are in bondage everywhere she goes. Apostle Barbara Jenkins is the Pastor of Christ the King Church.
