Successfully raising young black men

CareGiverStory.com is proud to interview as our special guest The Reverend Kevin D. Barnes, Sr.

Dr. Barnes was born and raised in Donaldsonville, Louisiana.  He is married to the lovely Brenda Barnes and is the father of three sons, Kevin Jr., Keith, and Kenneth Barnes, and grandfather of five.

Dr. Barnes received his license to preach in 1986, attended Bay City Bible Institute, and the Sacramento Theological Seminary Bible College where he received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D.  He was elected Pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church of Oakland, CA in January 1992.  Since being elected Pastor his primary focus is saving souls and changing lives.  He is faithful and understanding of the flock, and is like the Prophet Nehemiah is a strong leader, a man of character, persistent, prayerful, a brilliant planner, organizer, and motivator.  He is a genuinely humble servant of God and a passionate believer who is thoughtful, willing to listen, learn and to share his knowledge with others.

Dr. Barnes is the author of Successfully Raising Young Black Men, which has made the Amazon.com Bestsellers List.  Successfully Raising Young Black Men is available wherever fine books are sold, including www.TorchLegacy.com, Amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com, and booksamillion.com.
