The Sharp Family
Gene & Tara - Independent Baptist Media
We are the Gene Sharp Family, and we are privileged to be involved in media which is specifically radio, audio, and video for missionaries and local churches around the world. This missions endeavor started as we worked at our own local church Harvest Baptist Temple for several years in radio, sound room, teens and bus. Born out of that local church philosophy was born Independent Baptist Media. Seeing the high impact of media in conjunction with a solid local church convinced us of the potency and potentiality of media for ministry. It is our joy to have started off this project in PNG and over the years see the Lord open the doors of opportunity in places around the globe that seemed impossible.

Ken & Linda - Worldview Ministries
Linda and I both grew up in Christian homes and saved at an early age. I was called to ministry at age 15. We both graduated from Bible college, then I served as a pastor in Mansfield, OH for 16 years. While pastoring, I earned a MA in Bible Exposition at Pensacola Theological Seminary. In 2006, God led me to resign my pastorate and begin a work focused on translating the Scripture for more than 3,700 unreached language groups still waiting for God’s Word. As the Director of WorldView Ministries, we are entirely focused on Bible translation. We currently have more than 40 people serving in 9 different projects in 6 different countries.
