BARTF, (pronounced BAR-TEF), is an acronym of the phrase ‘Believing And Receiving Through Faith’. This Christian ministry and not- for- profit Charitable company, is founded on the  biblical promise in the book of Hebrews chapter 11  verse 1 which states this truth: 'Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.' 

We believe that faith creates visible results, that changes individuals’ mindsets, who in turn will influence change in their communities which in turn will impact the World!

BARTF was originally established by Maxine Brooks in Birmingham, England in 1994, but this ministry had a ground breaking, historical mark placed upon it, by the prompting of the Holy Spirit to produce the amazing, 'Power Conference 2004' event.

'BARTF PRODUCTIONS' is a non-denominational, Christian promotion organisation, that uses products, services and events to promote the gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in the Holy Bible. All revenues created and received in this organisation, goes back into its activites to promote the Christian belief, and build a Christian Life Centre where its main activities can be housed. 

HOW? -  Using products, services, and events, underpinned by basic principles of Christian values, to promote and carry out its mission. Its activities seek to create charitable and commercial revenue through: - products such as ‘Praise' Towels, T-Shirts, Shopper/Beach-bags, greeting cards and gifts; services i.e. Friday Morning Bible Study Group. & prayer meetings and events like community arts shows called The Liv-Inn and Sisters in Christ Gospel concerts Power Conferences & Singles Seminars. Professional and amateur, youth, adult and elderly groups in their entirety are encouraged to participate in any event. Each individual is empowered to achieve realistic results for themselves through social and spiritual interaction.

WHY? – In many communities such as ours, there are some people who are living below a level of personal fulfilment and appear to be under achieving. This Organisation believes that we can support and empower individuals by increasing faith in themselves and in God.                                    
Our target groups are individuals, families, and group members of the community who are disadvantaged by their age, gender, race, physical, psychological impairment, culture, education, experience, social and geographical background.

'Faith changes individuals, who change communities, who change the world'.
