We want to demonstrate clearly that our God is worth serving, whatever the cost! We ask God, our father, that he will provide for all our needs, that his Spirit will encourage, prompt and challenge people like you to support the ministry that he has given us all, for his glory and purpose.
Barratt Ministries give their services free. We believe we are in ministry to serve, not in business to make profit. For this reason our materials are kept to as low a price as possible.
For the same reason, there is no copyright on virtually all Barratt Ministries publications, whether they be CDs, DVDs or books. You may freely copy our material, and we are very happy for you to do so. We want to share our message in every way we can, and with this principle we do not feel that copyright is an option in ministry. The only exceptions we are obliged to make to this are Joanna’s albums My Chains Fell Off and The Reason I Live, which contain some material by other people which are copyrighted by them, and obviously, we have to respect these existing copyrights. Otherwise, because we produce our own material and are not profit-motivated, we have no need of copyright protection, and this means that the message can reach those who would otherwise be unable to access it.
This is not a day for Christians to compromise, but rather to stand up against it, both in the world and in the Church. As Christians we need to be setting the standard for others to follow. At Barratt Ministries we want to set that example by our lifestyle and our actions as well as by our words and teachings.
We strongly believe that the coming of our Lord draws near. The question is: will he find faith on the earth? According to James, faith is not only believing, but acting upon one’s beliefs. We are committed to spreading, and elaborating on, the radical teachings of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount in order to challenge the real Christians to stand up, be counted, and shine the light of Christ in this dark age.
