President and His Wife

Pastor Marvin Byers is the president of Hebron Ministries. His wife’s name is Barbara. He was born again in 1949 when he was 5 years old and began to teach the word of God at the age of 20. Barbara was born again in 1946. She has been a faithful co-laborer in the ministry with Bro. Byers during the last 46 years.

Pastor Byers majored in chemistry at the University of Michigan, and later became an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP). While studying chemistry at the university, Marvin met Barbara, an executive secretary, and they were married in 1965.
From 1966 to 1969, they studied theology together at Elim Bible Institute in Lima, New York. There they received teachings and the influence of some of the men of God who knew what it was to be immersed in the river of God that flowed mightily in the Church during the revivals that came in the early 1900s, and then again in 1948.

Pastor Byers has been in the ministry since 1962.  He and his wife Barbara have pastored and ministered in various places including the United States, the Philippines, Israel, and countries in Latin America and Africa.  Since 1978, they have had a home in Guatemala, Central America.

They also have a home in Canton, Texas, where the main office of Hebron Ministries is located.  Hebron Ministries is an international fellowship of churches, ministerial institutes and mission works.
