Terry & Barbi Franklin are singers, songwriters, and speakers that have ministered full-time for 25 years as a duo, focusing on their theme: “Inspiring Love in the Home & Revival in the Church.” Through Family Concerts and Marriage Seminars nation-wide, as well as in 35 foreign countries, they are reaching countless marriages and families with the hope and love of Jesus.

They founded Heart for the World, Inc., a missions organization which focuses on evangelism as well as impacting marriages and families world-wide. Through marriage seminars, evangelism crusades, and concert ministries around the globe, the Franklins have seen many thousands of souls saved, churches planted, and lives changed by their message of hope and restoration.

Through the years, they have worked with many well-known Christian leaders and artists such as Billy Graham, Jim Cymbala and The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, Focus on the Family, Coach Bill McCartney and Promise Keepers, Adrian Rogers, Jack Hayford, Steve & Annie Chapman, Bill & Gloria Gaither, David Jeremiah, Kay Arthur, Gary Smalley, Judge Roy Moore, Josh McDowell, Don Wildmon and The American Association, and many others.

As songwriters, they have had noteworthy success – artists across a wide range, from Glen Campbell to The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir have recorded their songs – and they have won numerous Dove Awards and award nominations – but more important to them are the many changed lives through healed marriages, families, and churches as God has used them around the world..

Terry & Barbi have a passion to see God bring Renewed Spiritual Hunger and Awakening to the church…starting inside our homes…and spreading to the whole Family of God. They used to bring their sons, Tyler and Travis, with them wherever they ministered, but both are now college students. Their latest CD, The Franklins, was produced by Tyler and Travis and most of the instrumentation, singing and songwriting was done by them... although they don't get a chance to hit the road with mom and dad much any more.

Using their skills at the keyboard and violin, Terry & Barbi lead listeners into a worship experience that touches hearts through their musical harmony. During seminars and speaking events, their music is an added bonus to every event.

In their family concerts, Barbi sometimes includes a short segment with “Nicky” especially for the children. This character is loved by young and old alike and is especially effective during their evangelism meetings overseas.

Both Terry & Barbi have traveled in music ministry since they were very young. After 25 years of ministry together, they continue to encourage strong family values, unity, and renewed hunger for God.
