Pastor Barry Dean and his wife, Evie, have been involved in missions and mission work for several years. They have a deep desire to see the Kingdom of God advanced in the earth through the Sons and Daughters of God. Pastor Barry is the founder and president of Kingdom Connections Inc. and A.L.M.S, a ministry focused on reaching the nations of the world. Pastor Barry also oversees the Zion School of Ministry's International Division. Pastor Barry is an ordained minister through Zion Apostolic Ministries and Mount Zion Church out of Gansevoort, NY in the United States.

The vision for Kingdom Connections is to fulfill the Great Commission according to Matthew 28:18-20 by involving both youth and adults in missions work. Through our efforts, we’re able to provide each family we meet guidance and support to create and maintain fields used to harvest food for their communities. On top of their physical needs, providing spiritual guidance has caused outbreaks of salvations throughout the surrounding cities.

In time, we will obtain dual citizenship which would allow us to split our time between time in Africa and time at home in the US each year to accomplish the following goals:

* Build a safe home to get children off the street with a K-12 school on the same property

* Build a health clinic for mothers and their babies

* Offer cross-training opportunities through connections with educated people who want to impart their life skills to others, while tying it altogether with a central library equipped with a computer lab

* Maintain a year-round discipleship program for solid biblical instruction followed by practical demonstrations of what they’ve learned

* Rinse and repeat… to duplicate these opportunities where they are needed the most, all while allowing the love of God to be seen and the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be known
