A Little Bit About Us
Hi, my name is Barry Warren. My wife, Lori, and I currently live in Orlando, Florida. We met “by chance” at a Panera Bread in Winter Park, Florida in 2011. I ordered a coffee, sat down next to Lori, and we married on August 10th 2013!
​
I was born and raised in a small town in Colorado. I met Jesus as an angry, 19 year-old, college student. God radically changed my life. For the last 20 years I've worked with Cru, the U.S. ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ Int’l, a non-denominational Christian ministry. My work allows me to innovate the way the Body of Christ shares the love of Jesus and disciples young men and women.
After graduating at the top of her class from Vanderbilt, my wife co-founded Manna Project Int’l, a non-profit that does development in Nicaragua and Ecuador. After living in Nicaragua for seven years, she moved back to the U.S. where she met me. Lori is completely out of my league. She recently stepped down from being MPI's Executive Director. She is now pursuing the challenge and adventure of motherhood.
​
We enjoy being out in nature, playing games, eating, watching movies, serving others, and quality time with friends and family. Most of all, we love being parents to our son, Bennett Gray! He was born September 6, 2016.
