Barry Woodward grew up in a great, but non-Christian home, in Salford, Greater Manchester. At 16, he left school with no qualifications and became drawn into the Manchester drugs scene, taking cannabis, amphetamine and LSD. This led to a life of heroin addiction and drug dealing.
After being dependent on heroin for fourteen years and spending a number of terms in prison, Barry had what he describes as 'an encounter with God', which resulted in his life being totally transformed. This was followed by a calling from God for him to be an evangelist. Since then, he has worked with a number of evangelistic organizations and studied full time at Cliff Bible College, where he was awarded a Diploma in Biblical Studies and Evangelistic Ministry, from Sheffield University.
Barry is a contemporary evangelist who has a passion for God and his church, and he is committed to relevant communication of the Christian faith.
Barry is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God denomination, in the UK, and is also an associate evangelist with J.John of the Philo Trust. He is author of 'Once an Addict', and his wife Tina and him are members of the Bridge Church, in Greater Manchester.
