The Barbershop Ministry was started by Kenny Williams who is a Barber in Ohio. He started the Barbershop a number of years ago because he wanted to share God’s love with people who needed a haircut. Kenny is an incredible guy with true genuine faith and I actually was able to call him on the phone to learn a bit about his ministry. Kenny has recently opened up a new shop that has extra space for Bible study and a lounge.
What Kenny is doing is incredible for the community and is truly a blessing to those he serves. Kenny is an ordained minister at his church and has completely opened himself to being a vessel for the kingdom. I would love to take a visit to meet Kenny in the future. It is interesting that he has chosen to be so explicit with his mission by calling his Shop “The Barbershop Ministry.” I’m not sure I would be so explicit in the way I present the idea, but it does mean he is getting guys who want to dig deep in faith. I appreciate what Kenny has been doing.

That is a bold move to call it a ministry! Because my team was also struggling with whether to give our gym a Christian name, I have wondered what the differences in clientele would be just based on name difference. I'm super excited to see what you will do with your business, and I'm glad you got to talk to Kenny Williams for inspiration!
I really enjoyed when you presented this in class! I think it is such a creative way to go about ministry. It has to be so meaningful to his staff and the people around him that he has a space dedicated to bible study and it's also a place they can all speak publicly about their faith. It has to be an amazing environment to just get your hair cut as well!
