Basic Ministries

In this episode of Community Spotlight, Braxton sits down with Barry Yin from Basics Ministries in Rutherford County, North Carolina, to discuss the powerful work being done through their food pantry, thrift store, and spiritual outreach. Barry shares the story of how the ministry began after a young boy collapsed from malnutrition, sparking a community effort to address hunger in the area. Since its founding in 2015, Basics Ministries has served thousands of families, distributing over 12,000 pounds of food per month, while also sharing the gospel with every person they serve. With a focus on both physical and spiritual needs, Barry encourages others to take that first step in faith, trusting God to provide the resources needed for any ministry. Volunteers and donations are key to the success of the ministry, and Barry invites those interested to get involved and make a difference.
