PARTNERS
“Watch to see where God is working and join Him in His work.”
Henry Blackaby in the book Experiencing God
Your unique gifts, impacting God’s Kingdom
Partnership with The Barnabas Group is a world-changing engagement. God is at work in and through the ministries we meet. And it is our privilege to accept an invitation to join in that effort, encouraging the ministry in support of what God is doing.
A CHRISTIAN’S UNIQUE CALLING
Not every Christian is called into formal, full-time ministry, but every Believer in Christ is called to steward their lives in ways that bring Glory to God. As a Christian leader, God has called you to use the gifts He’s given you to expand His Kingdom, by your position and influence.
“WELL DONE MY GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT.”
Having been called as sons and daughters of our heavenly Father, it is now our great joy to use our lives for His glory, with the hope of one day hearing these comforting words as we stand before His throne.
The Barnabas Partner
The role of Barnabas Group is to equip, encourage, and connect our Partners with opportunities to be an encourager. We ask the Lord to make connections - laying a ministry on our hearts and calling us to step forward into relationship with them. And the Ministries we meet are served by you, the Partners. The mission of Barnabas Group is fulfilled when Partners engage with a ministry and that ministry is helped.

All events are optional and you can partipate as your time allows. We don’t expect partners to get involved with every ministry we present. In fact, we want our partners to put their valuable skills and talents to use helping face a challenge they feel specifically compelled by God to pursue. These experiences lead to powerful encounters between nonprofits and proven leaders that ultimately expand the Kingdom impact of both parties exponentially.Item description
