In this first‑person video, Dr. Tabatha Barber recounts a transformative spiritual experience that began before her trip to Haiti. She describes how a prior encounter taught her the meaning of worship, leading her to believe she had already secured her place in heaven. Three days into the mission, a magnitude‑7.2 earthquake struck, killing roughly 300,000 people, yet she, her two daughters, and 14 team members survived unharmed. Upon returning home, she was thrust into media attention (CNN, Channel 9) and shared her story at her church, emphasizing that she felt no fear, that Jesus and angels protected them, and that the Bible became vivid. Her testimony sparked a conversation with her mother, who, despite uncertainty about faith, expressed a desire to learn more, marking a pivotal shift in her family’s spiritual journey.

And I learned through them what worship was. And so, I thought that was like, I came to Haiti and I was done, girlfriend. I was like, "I go to heaven now. I know who Jesus is." You know, like, "This is what faith is." Little did I know that God was like, "No, Amyce, not only do I want to renew your mind, but I wanna give you a new heart." And so, 3 days into that trip, that earthquake would hit. Wow. A 7.2 earthquake. And 300,000 people would die in that earthquake, but me, my daughters, and 14 team members would be spared. And so when I came back home— and that's a whole nother story— but by the time I came home, my mom said I was up and on. CNN was there and Channel 9 News, all these news stations. And I'm at our church and I'm sitting on the stage and everyone's talking about their experience, and they got to me and they said, 'So were you afraid?' And I said, 'No.' And I asked everybody, 'Do you know Jesus?' And my mom said— because I never talked like that— I was like, 'Do you know Jesus? Because he loves you.' And I said, 'And he was with us, and angels were with us, and we were protected, and I saw them on the ends of both streets every day.' And the Bible came alive. Wow. And so my mom said, 'Well,' she said to my husband, 'I don't know who that is up there, but I'm gonna have to get to know her.' That's where everything changed.
