Gateway Fellowship

From the secular world of marketing and advertising, Barry Horner’s conversion in Melbourne, Australia, led to seminary training at Western Conservative Baptist Seminary, Portland, Oregon, and Westminster Seminary in Escondido, California. Having pastored churches in both Australia and the United States, he has given priority to the serious, applicatory exposition of Scripture. Barry has also become recognized as an authority on the ministry of John Bunyan within a seventeenth century setting. As a result, he has authored several books in this field. Further, Barry has also conducted seminars on The Pilgrim’s Progress in Australia, New Zealand, England, Wales, and many parts of the US. Refer to his web site www.bunyanministries. org.

However for many years Barry has also pursued serious study of the field of eschatology. His particular concern is with regard to the present validity and role of national Israel in conjunction with the coming messianic kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. While of sovereign grace convictions, nevertheless he has become disturbed at the anti-Judaic tone that has pervaded much of this broad theological environment. He is convinced that a loving attitude toward the Jewish people, notwithstanding their predominant unbelief, ought to be a spontaneous consequence of a true biblical eschatology. Such a response is difficult if the Jewish people are denied their continuing Jewishness. Hence Barry’s latest publication Future Israel, has addressed this vital concern with some detail. Refer to his web site www.futureisraelministries.org. He resides in Arizona, where he ministers at Christ’s Church of Tucson.
