About Our Ministry Our mission is to help the local church shout about Him; bringing Christ's message of redemption in new and dramatic ways that cut through the noise and cultural boundaries of today's world. Then to help the local church equip and build up zealous disciples that they too, might also fulfill the "Great Commission." Bob Stark Called into ministry after a successful 30 year career in Sales & Marketing within the Telecommunications Industry Bob launched shout about Him in 2007. He had spent numerous years volunteering and helping to create an alternative worship service at a prominent Chicagoland church. Lending his gifts in media creation, marketing and communications quickly became a passion  and after participating in a LifeKeys program it was obvious that this was a calling that would  begin a life changing ministry. As Bob puts it, "It's all about cutting through the clutter of today's busy life and painting a compelling picture of our Lord using language, images and themes that people can relate to that helps draw them into a closer relationship with Him. Just as Jesus used vivid stories and parables to communicate complex and timeless truths, we need to utilizes the best tools available to us. During a time of aging congregations and falling attendance, today's local churches need to reach out in new  and compelling ways to shout about Him to a generation who truly need to hear the "Good News"." Barbara Stark Barbara has spent most of her corporate life in the financial arena doing mergers and acquisitions for Fortune 500 companies. Since 1999 she has spent more time in church functions – planning retreats, outreach programs, bible studies and a three year term on council, most of that as treasurer. Taking a sabbatical from corporate life, and armed with gifts of administration and leadership, she began to volunteer her time at her church. This turned into a full time position as assistant director of worship at a 3,500 member church outside Chicago. She served there for two years. It is with this experience that Barbara can truly relate to creating vital worship services and understanding the obstacles and joys in managing volunteer ministries. A guiding verse for Barbara is Ezekiel 37:6, but she believes that we too are charged to “… ‘breathe into these slain, that they might live’… and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army.” What a great honor and responsibility it is to “shout about Him”.   “Blessings flow through serving others!”  "welcome newcomers, stretch the faithful and inspire them to action"
