Barnabas Support Teams
A Barnabas support team is a small group of committed people from Fellowship Church who come together to care for our missionaries in a variety of ways, striving to help meet their physical, emotional and spiritual needs. It is a group of people with whom the missionary can be open and honest, allowing them to see his/her needs, and share his/her successes and details.
The name "Barnabas" comes from the character described in Acts 9:27 and 11:22-26. His name literally means “Son of Encouragement.” It was Barnabas who was Paul’s advocate before the church after Paul’s conversion. He was a partner in ministry. He was also John Mark’s advocate when Paul wanted to leave him behind (Acts 15:37-39). Barnabas was the kind of partner in ministry that everyone would want on their team. At Fellowship Church our Barnabas Teams are primarily homegroups based with a team facilitator.
