Which two Barrs were among the first Church of God missionaries to the Bahamas in 1923?

• A. Edmund and Rebecca Barr
• B. John and Mary Barr
• C. Thomas and Sarah Barr
• D. William and Jane Barr

Answer: (A)

In the Church of God’s early missions, couples often served together, traveling to new fields to establish churches and train leaders. The Bahamas mission opened in 1923 with Edmund Barr and Rebecca Barr serving side by side, making them among the first Church of God missionaries there. Their joint service reflects how pioneer work was documented in mission records—as a husband-and-wife team sharing the Barr surname on the first Bahamian outreach. That record helps identify them specifically for this historic first, and their work helped lay the foundation for the Church of God’s presence in the Bahamas. Other Barrs may appear in different times or places, but the 1923 Bahamas pairing is the one recognized for that initial mission.
