Our Pastor
Pastor Barry
The year was 1991, Specialist Vazquez found himself standing on the roof of one of the Al Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia, looking out to the horizon and contemplating the meaning of life. He was a soldier serving his country in the Military Intelligence Corp during Operation Desert Storm. He had plans to marry his college sweetheart upon his return to the states and joining the professional workforce. Outwardly, everything in his life seemed to be in order. But something nagged at him from the inside. He believed there had to be more to life—some purpose to his being on earth. He knew of God, having a mother who prayed for him and constantly gave him service tapes from her pastor, Al Horta. Though he didn’t know it then, the Word that his mother had so diligently sown into him all those years before was about to take root. That day, March 23, 1991, in the middle of the desert, he spoke to God. He made a promise—if God would change his way of thinking, he would serve Him all the days of his life. God did, and Pastor Barry has kept his promise, through the mountains and valleys of his life.
He returned to the states with a resolve to get to know Jesus intimately and understand the Christian life so he could serve Him to the best of his ability. He served under Pastor Al Horta at End Time Ministries from 1991-2000, in many capacities. The first time he preached abroad was in 1993 in Mexico. In 1994, Pastor Barry and his wife, Awilda, were appointed elders at End Time Ministries. He was licensed as a minister in 1996. His desire to learn more about God and His Word led him to enroll in Bible school at Faith Fellowship World Outreach Center (FFMWOC)in 1997.
He graduated from FFMWOC’s Advance Christian School in two years and continue to get a diploma from the School of Ministry.
On January 1, 2000, God told him that would be the year of separation. A few months later, God revealed his call to Trenton, New Jersey and all the details of his ministry. Later that year in May, he accompanied his pastor to a Pastors’ Anointing Weekend at Rod Parsley’s church in Ohio. God was faithful to confirm His word to Pastor Barry during that weekend through the various teachings and finally through his own pastor.
On September 24, 2000, the doors to Living by Grace Fellowship were opened.
In 2002 he enrolled into Faith International Training School which is a six month intensive program and received his diploma.
Ever the bible student, Pastor Barry went on to earn his Master’s in Divinity and Honorary Doctorate of Divinity in June 2006. He shares this passion for learning and understanding the Word of God with all who hunger for that knowledge. Pastor has a saying, “school is always open”, and indeed it always is.
Pastor Awilda
Pastor Awilda accepted the Lord as Savior on September 22, 1991. She has sinced stood next to her her husband in ministry through thick and thin. She currently serves as the Administrator for Living By Grace fellowship and is the mother of three, one of which is home with the Lord awaiting our reunion.
Pastor Barry and Awilda have been together from childhood love to the consumation of marriage for over 27 years.
