David Barnhart received a Bachelor’s degree in education from
Clarion State University, Clarion, Pa., and a Masters of Divinity degree from the
Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, Columbia, SC. Ordained by the Lutheran Church in America in 1964, he pastored churches in that denomination for 20 years. In 1984, Pastor Barnhart withdrew from the Lutheran Church in America and united with the
Association of Free Lutheran Congregations (AFLC). He and his wife Mary were led by the Lord to establish
Abiding Word Ministries (AWM) in that same year. Pastor Barnhart helped to organize
Living Word Lutheran Church (AFLC) in Eagan, Minnesota. He was then called to Peace Lutheran Church in Canal Winchester, Ohio and then as interim Pastor of
St. John’s Lutheran Church in Newark OH.
Abiding Word Ministries, now in its 28th year, exists to promote revival and reformation throughout the Church. We publish a newsletter called The Vine and Branches which is mailed to approximately 7000 homes throughout the United States and Canada. AWM counsels pastors, congregations and laity who desire to take their stand against false teachings and unbiblical practices within their church bodies. Over the past 40 years, David and Mary Barnhart have led 29 tours to Israel. You can subscribe to get your free

http://www.thevineandbranches.org Pastor David has a special: buy 3 of his books for $25 (includes shipping) Titles are:
Contending for the Faith; Israel, Land of Promise & Prophecy; & Living in the Times of the Signs. His first book is out of print. I read David’s newsletters as part of my morning devotions and look forward to reading his books soon.
Thanks so much, dear Frans, for posting all of my newsletter in segments. I believed you saved the best for last! I know Pastor and Mary Barnhart will be as thrilled to see this post today as I am. I’m hoping that many will take advantage of their inspired and interesting newsletter and also their great special of 3 books for $25. Like Franklin Graham (Billys son), David is praying for revival for America and his latest newsletter reflects this. I am so happy to have caught up with David recently, having been neighbors as children and having lost touch for all these years. It was my goal that others be blessed by his writings as I am. He possibly is (and has been for years) as hard-working as you are, Frans!! Blessings, Judy
