John and Christi Barnes
Through a series of fortunate events, John and Christi fell in love and married in 1999. Thinking that they would stay on the farm John was raised on, they began making many plans for a future in livestock and Youth Ministry. That bubble was busted when God called John and Christi to a church in Dallas, Texas for John to serve as a Youth Pastor. Over the next few years their journey included a call to Greeley, Colorado and later back to Texas. While in Greeley, Christi traveled to Haiti for the first time where she fell deeply in love with the people of Haiti. On her return she emphatically insisted that John travel to Haiti to experience what she had, which he did. During the next seven years, Christi consistently and silently prayed for John to have the same love as she did for Haiti. On December 27th, 2011, Christi's prayers finally became a reality as this family of five boarded a plane to serve in the poorest region of Haiti, the Northwest zone.
Currently the Barnes family oversees HoM Phase 2 while living in Tehachapi, California where John is the Pastor at Stallion Springs Community Church and Christi is pursuing a Masters in Social Work from California State University Bakersfield.
