Barnabas Ministry

Barnabas-header

An effort by the Ohio Association of the 4C’s to enhance the ministry of Christian pastors, church planters, missionaries, and other Christian workers by bringing Biblically based, Spirit empowered prayer, encouragement, coaching, and support to them in their ministry context.

         Brothers, if you have a message of encouragement for the people, please speak.” (Acts 13:15)

The vision of the Ohio Association BARNABAS MINISTRY is to provide a desired    space where such servants can be their true self and walk in the paths the Holy Spirit  is praying for them on an ongoing basis.  (Romans 8:26-27, Ephesians 2:10)

The Ohio Association has called Dr. David R. Kimberly to develop the Barnabas Ministry in such a manner.
