Pastor Eric Jean-Bruno Aniel Barbe was elected as an Associate Director of the Stewardship Ministries Department of the Seventh-day Adventist world church in October 8, 2017. A native of Mauritius, an island situated in the South West region of the Indian Ocean, Pastor Barbe previously served as the Stewardship Ministries director of the Indian-Ocean Union from 2010-2012, and of the Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division (SID) since February 2013, establishing a solid stewardship ministry in that division.

Pastor Barbe’s parents, Roger, a former alcoholic, and Thérèse, joined the Adventist Church when he was still a little boy. Very early, he sensed God’s calling to serve as a pastor. Through God’s leading, he studied theology at Institut Adventiste du Salève, France. Later, he completed a MA in Religion with Andrews University at Babcock Extension Campus, Nigeria. However, his passion for the human mind led him to do a BA in Psychology/Education with the University of South Africa.

During his 22 years of pastoral service, Pastor Barbe was mainly involved in three areas: church pastoral work, administrative responsibilities and departmental assignments. His primary passion is for pastoral work in the local church which he considers as the greatest school for ministry. He was enriched by the 10 years he spent in the Youth Ministries at the Local Conference and with the Indian Ocean Union. Pastor Barbe had the opportunity to serve as the Executive Secretary and President of his home Conference and also as President of the Indian Ocean Union. Since 2010, he is directly involved in the Stewardship Ministries at the Union and actually with the Southern Africa Indian Ocean Division. He strongly believes that if the adequate conditions are nurtured in the local church, faithfulness will grow as a natural fruit.

Pastor Barbe has been married to Marie Micheline Barbe, his partner in life and service for the past twenty years. They are the happy parents of Adam, the miracle of their lives.

In 2016, they welcomed two young adults, Benjamin and Getrude, into their family, bringing their total children count to nine. They are blessed with five grandchildren. Johnetta takes pride in making a vibrant, lovely and cozy home for her family.

Johnetta is a Credentialed Christian Nonprofit (CCNL) leader and a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society. She has a passion for editing, graphic design/layout, holds degrees in Publishing, French Literature/Linguistics and Education but has accepted the call to ministry. Together with her husband, John and Johnetta are co-founders and leaders of a non-profit organization, NALAA (North America Liberia Adventist Association) comprised of Liberian Adventists and friends of Liberian Adventists living in the U.S.A. and Canada. NALAA works alongside the Seventh-day Adventist mission fields in Liberia to help spread the gospel after 14 years of civil war. NALAA undertakes church building projects, provides Adventist education through scholarships for needy children, helps with church renovations and provides pews for local churches in Liberia.

Johnetta has great organizational/planning skills. She is very earnest and compassionate. She loves the Lord and serving others. Johnetta enjoys sharing the good news of God's love and working with women. Her goal is to be the "light" so that others may see Jesus in her. She looks forward to sitting across from Jesus at the Welcome Table and eating of the Tree of Life.
