Barbara Martin is a native Texan, the youngest of five children born to Rev. Oco (Bill) and Winnie Norris.  She accepted our Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior in her early teens.  Over the years, Barbara has been very active in the local church where she has taught in the Sunday School Department and has directed children’s and teen choirs.  She is also a soloist, and for many years sang in duets, trios, ladies sextet, chorale, ensembles and the adult choir.  She is currently an active member of Beulah Land Baptist Church in Cleveland, Texas.

Barbara has ministered in various nursing homes in the Houston/Metropolitan area.  There, the Lord has blessed her ministry with many of the elderly coming to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ.  She lives in Houston, Texas with her husband of fifty four years, Gerald David Martin, Sr.  They are parents of four adult children, fourteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

The ministry of Barbara Martin is a faith ministry created and organized for the purpose of sharing the gospel of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and restoring the Christian values that made our nation great.  Barbara has always had a deep love for America and fully believes our beloved country was given to us by God, blessed and chosen by Him to be a “city on a hill” to shine forth the gospel of Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world.  Now, because we have been lulled to sleep by Satan, America is on a downward path and has turned her back on Almighty God; however, God has promised us in II Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

No one has ever been called by God’s name other than Christians.

Barbara appeals to ALL Christians through the writings of our forefathers, Christian and Patriotic songs written in the early days of our country, as well as new Christian and patriotic poems and songs of faith and freedom.  She urges them to heed, obey and claim God’s promise given to us in II Chronicles 7:14.  Barbara believes if we do not heed, obey and claim II Chronicles 7:14, our nation will surely perish.

Barbara is a member of Bay Area Gospel Music Association (BAGMA) and Association of Performing Christian Artists (APCA).  She is available to sing at church services, gospel concerts, patriotic rallies, benefits, etc...., wherever the Lord is lifted up and glorified and wherever He opens the door.

Barbara would appreciate the opportunity of presenting the Gospel in songs of faith and freedom to your audience and extends an invitation to all to share in her ministry and labor of love for Him.
