She grew up in a Church-attending home in Southern California, and accepted Jesus her Lord and Savior as a teenager.

She then earned a M.S. in school psychology, and worked with children with special needs in the elementary school setting. In her spare time, she regularly led small groups and Bible studies at her home church. Barbara retired from education in 2017, and she and her husband Carl joined the Christian ministry, Youth with a Mission, where she received training in evangelism After working with this organization for a season, they moved to the Woodlands, Texas, in October of 2021 and joined Church Project.

Through these studies, she has learned more about God and has made connections with women of all ages and walks of life, and both have been valuable in her life.
