Paul Barreca is the Director of Fellowship International Mission in Allentown, PA. FIM helps missionaries to fulfill God’s call to proclaim the gospel around the world. Paul’s passion for missions and discipleship grew out of thirty-three years of pastoral ministry in which he served churches in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan. His strong focus on personal discipleship developed into a curriculum for one-on-one and small groups based on the discipleship methods of Jesus. He describes these methods in his book, “Follow the Master: How Jesus Made Disciples.” The curriculum he developed is widely used today. It contains 34 doctrinally based lessons with life application titled, “Follow the Master, A Discipleship Course for Growing Christians.” He has taught in Bible colleges in the US, the Philippines, and in Africa. Paul also utilizes wilderness trips and Israel tours as intensives to help believers become spiritually mature and love God’s Word. He led over 30 wilderness trips in Canada and along the Appalachian Trail. In 2011 Paul led the first of numerous Bible study tours of Israel, two of those in partnership with Kerby Anderson and the Point of View Radio Program. Paul studied at Word of Life Bible Institute, Lancaster Bible College, Michigan Theological Seminary, and Clarks Summit University where he earned a Doctor of Ministry degree. He has taught in Bible colleges both in the United States and the Philippines. Paul and his wife Kim have three children and seven grandchildren and have been married since 1982. Contact Paul to learn more about discipleship or have him speak to your group at your church.
