Our Story

our story

Hello, my name is Kurt Barreto and I have had an amazing journey up to this point in my 48 years of life. And my life is truly only beginning, life with God has changed everything.

I was raised Catholic in Centereach,a small Eastern Long Island town. My childhood was awesome I have no horror stories to report, my parents are still married and raised me with much love. I would classify my youth as blessed. My wife calls it a “Leave it to Beaver” life. My Dad was a hard worker and my work ethic comes from him. Unfortunately this humble existence was the perfect subtle breeding ground for self-reliance to prosper!
Kurt and Leisa Barreto
I truly believed I had it together. I went to church fairly often, I completed all my sacramental duties as a Catholic and I thought I knew who God was. But I guess you don’t know what you don’t know…. I got married at 24 because I thought I was running out of good luck with my usual sins of going out with girls and drinking. I had to grow up to prove to my dad I could make something out of my life, even though I dropped out of community college. I also had a lot of guilt because at 18, my girlfriend had an abortion, and I was convinced God was mad at me because murder was a “mortal sin”. I couldn’t even admit that one to a priest in confession!

Once I graduated from high school, my “God Life” centered around Christmas and Easter church obligations. I now look back at my young adult life and think how blessed I am to have survived it with the outcome at hand. I know that sounds dramatic, but when you look back and see how God’s footprints were with you, only then can you understand how it happened!

I looked at “normal” every day things like casual sex, drinking, drugs, divorce, strip clubs, nice cars, fine restaurants, wild parties, private clubs, and…well you get the idea. As the meaning of “making it” in life. On top of that, I now realize how many times I “cheated” death as an outcome of the lifestyle I was living.

Knowing what I know now, I was just really Spiritually dead. That separation from God only became real to me in the last 2 years when my world completely fell apart. It was only through truly learning about the love of God, His Grace and Forgiveness that I become Spiritually alive.

It is my calling now to teach others about Discipleship Evangelism, the Grace of God and a new way to live life….fully!

I can’t wait to meet you and your group!

God bless you and I hope our paths cross sometime soon!

Kurt
