Darlene began here journey in Christ in October 1988. She is in full-time ministry serving with her husband, Apostle Kevin K. Barber, Sr., Senior Pastor of Wellspring Church International “Living in the Refreshing” located in Richmond, Texas. God has anointed her with a prophetic anointing that was birth through a passionate and powerful prayer life.
Prophetess Darlene oversees Wellspring’s Intercessory Prayer Ministry and J.E.W.E.L.S Women’s Ministry. In May of 2003, Darlene completed her certification as a Christian Counselor through the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC). In November 2010, Darlene was ordained into the office of Prophet through Day Star Tabernacle Int’l 7000 More Covenant of Churches under the leadership of Apostle Halton and Pastor Alicia Horton of Douglasville, Georgia.
In 2020, during the Covid19 pandemic, Darlene began a personal journey in heart/inner healing through a 25-week course, Elijah House School of Ministry 201 Training Course. Holy Spirit moved so powerfully over the course and brought healing to her heart that she couldn’t keep to herself. She shared Passion for Purpose an 8-week introduction to heart/inner healing with the women in her church and breakthroughs and healings began flowing. One class led to another class and in July 2022 God entrusted a new ministry to her stewardship, J5:6 Prayer Ministry, taken from John 5:6 “When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be healed?”. Darlene became a Certified Facilitator under Elijah House in May 2022 and now trains others to become prayer ministers. We share the goal that Elijah House has been mandated to accomplish, to bring inner/heart healing to the unbelieving parts of a believer’s heart that have been impacted due to wounding and trauma to the heart. J5:6 Prayer Ministry motto is “Healed and Whole is the Goal!”.
