Larry
Barrett was born in Abingdon, Virginia in 1946, and moved to a farm
just outside Abingdon at the age of 8. With no television in his
home, the family radio became his best friend. It was while
listening to a program called "HYMN TIME", that the Lord touched his
heart with music. At the age of 12, Larry asked the Lord
into his heart while attending a church camp.
Larry
was encouraged by his parents to use his music talent in service for
the Lord. He married his wife Naomi, in September of 1969.
Larry and Naomi have 5 children and 9 Grandchildren. In 1995, the
Lord gave Larry the gift of songwriting and he has ministered full time
since 1996. Larry has ministered in churches of all
denominations, outdoor revivals, street ministry, tent meetings, county
fairs, weddings and funerals.
Larry
has to date (2007) recorded 4 Cd's. Larry has opened concerts for
Mike Upright, The Florida Boys, The Singing Cookes, The
Crabb Family, The Oak Ridge Boys, Buddy Jewel, and John Osborne.
Larry has received many awards for his music including Male Vocalist of
The Year and Songwriter Of The Year in Country Gospel Music.
Larry's ministry is a
ministry to all people, no matter what they have done or where
they have been. His purpose for ministry is to spread the message
of the Cross and the good news of the Gospel in song to where ever a
door is opened. His priority is to see the lost saved and then to
be an encouragement to those who are hurting and broken hearted.
Larry's ministry is an outreach of his home
church, Carvosso Methodist Church in Abingdon, Virginia, under the
Pastoral leadership of Leonard Smith. For more information about
