John Barrow was born into an unstable home and became involved in sex, drugs, and alcohol around 14 years old. He collected a colorful record, and found himself reflecting on his life during his time of isolation in prison. Looking forward, John is thankful for his time in the penitentiary where He dedicated his life to Christ. It wasn’t an easy journey, but God blessed him with a wife, five children, and two grandchildren. God also blessed him with a masonry company and many investment properties. However, God wanted to use him even more. He was always inspired by teen challenge. John desired to create a place to help men just like him, thus A Better Way Ministries was born.
