Barbara Shields Pollard
"The poet that I would like to introduce to you is a young woman by the name of, Barbara Shields Pollard. Barb was born December 16,1958 in East St. Louis, Illinois, and went home with the Lord on January 18, 2011, in St. Louis, Missouri.
She married at the age of 18 years of age to Alvis Pollard, and was the mother of three beautiful children, who gave her much joy. Barb's husband informed me that from the time he met her that she was a writer of poems and she was truly used by God to get His message out in a very simply and truthful way.
Barb was exquisite in her poetry writings that became her own special way of communicating, because you see she could not read or write proficiently until the Holy Spirit would come upon her. This was a relationship that she and God shared. When she prayed the Holy Spirit would speak to her and let her know what He would have her to say from His Heart.
Barb would followed God's instructions and He would guide her hand to write some of the most unique poetry that I have ever read. Here is one Barbara's finest, poems with love from Gods' heart, and I hope that you enjoy reading it as much as she loved writing it.
She was a dear friend, and she was a visionary; she knew that God would bless this ministry mightily.
Unity for Christ is a ministry that services single mothers and their children is located on the east side of Springfield, Illinois, and is in their 3rd year of service to the community of Springfield. Unity for Christ started out serving young pregnant mothers, but the need to help aide single mothers was so great that the ministry began helping moms with children in such a way that the ministry grew overnight. The services that are provided are immediate, and the ministry will help most moms that comes to our doors. If Barb had lived she would have been someone who would have loved these moms freely, and showered them with a lot of prayer. Barb was a visionary person, and her desire would have been to be a part of the ministrys' vision and to move forward to do whatever God would have her to do, no matter what. A willing vessel.
