In 2008 Pastor Denny Barger’s life-long love and passion to serve the persecuted church lead him along with his wife Sue to found Dreams Alive: The Arab/American Alliance for Relief & Development.

Pastor Denny and his wife continue to serve persecuted Christians throughout the Middle East by raising awareness and support for several partners and projects. These include church plants, medical centers, Christian schools, and an evangelical center helping Syrian widows & orphans. Additionally, he serves alongside CCOB’s medical mission teams in the Middle East. The couple takes no money from financial gifts given to Dreams Alive. Rather, they raise their own living expenses through farming.
