It is a distinct pleasure to give the highest recommendation to the ministry of Jeri Barricks.

During the time Jeri worked in our Tabernacle television ministry, we observed her excellence in communication and most of all, the genuine love and concern was consistently evident. Her award-winning radio program, "Dear Jeri" has touched and blessed the lives of all who have heard it, and especially the many, many hurting people.

Jeri continues to share the love of Jesus with a great anointing of the Holy Spirit in teaching, counseling of teens, singles, elderly and most especially, to women’s groups.

God has expanded Jeri’s ministry by opening doors of evangelism in various parts of the world, and is in great demand for return ministry in these areas.

Jeri’s life represents, a very special plan of God in which she flows with His love, integrity and commitment.

“Jeri Barracks is one of the sweetest, loving, Christians you will ever meet. She certainly carries the mantle and ministry of an Evangelist! She simply is a soul winner who will continually love people to Christ and influence the church to do the same until she leaves this earth! Tammie and I have shared a friendship with Jeri for 25 yrs. Her life is of sterling character and her testimony and ministry effective and anointed continually! With much love and a dash of wit and humor (maybe a cup) she will be a blessing to your church family. If you get her around someone who doesn’t know Jesus, watch what she and the Holy Spirit will do! I wholeheartedly recommend her for ministry in any capacity you have opportunity for her.”

"The ministry of Jeri Barricks is humorous and yet hard hitting. She presents God’s Word with power and with a freshness that challenges the hearer. She is an Evangelist and her heart’s desire is to follow Jesus and lead others to Him.

HAITI

"Yes, Jeri, we walked in the mud and loved the dirty and the poor, and the sick. You were the hands of Jesus and the people of Haiti were able to see and hear someone who well-represented the joy that is ours through salvation. Most of all, I want to tell you Jeri, that after being in Haiti and enduring the conditions and accomplishing the task, that you can feel confident in God that you can bear His Good News anywhere in the world. The Holy Spirit has enabled you to cross culture and to have a rapport with a foreign people.

Your natural senses were put to death that you might give spiritual life to ‘the least of these’."

A Midnight Miracle in Russia

"Coincidentally" (I’d rather call it-"God-incidently"), Natasha, our tour guide, would later room with Jeri Barricks, a vivacious female evangelist from my home town of Buffalo, New York. Her effusive personality could electrify even the most dour marxist bureaucrat. I prayed, "Lord, use Jeri in a mighty way tonight". I then returned to my cabin to catch sleep before our early morning arrival in Moscow.

I rapped on Jeri’s door, and to my surprise it sprang open. Opposite her was Natasha, wiping teary eyes. Before I could figure it out, Jeri said, "Rob, I want you to know that Natasha gave her heart to the Lord last night and received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit!"

"Jeri Barricks has been my wife’s and my spiritual mother since 1984 when she led us to the Lord. She has been instrumental in mentoring and encouraging my wife and I and our ministries. My wife Cindy has a wonderful ministry to the sick in the hospital and those at home.

Thru Jeri agreeing in prayer with me for a dream that was in my heart, which was to have an outdoor christian festival in the Buffalo area, the Lord made the way and in 1987 Kingdom Bound Darien Lake Christian Festival was started.

Jeri has been a speaker at every festival since it began and we have seen sick healed and the hurting set free, but especially joyous and dear to my heart are the souls saved thru her ministry."

"It was such a pleasure to have you with us once again. Our people never grow tired of your ministry because you come with such a joy and newness each time.

Our women have just absolutely fallen in love with you and they truly enjoy your fellowship. The Lord moved in such a special way this time that our church will not forget. They left the service that day with something fresh from the Lord.
