| About Barnabas: The Genesis of the Organization |
|
Barnabas Ministries is a ministry organization dedicated to advancing God’s kingdom through evangelism, missionary assistance, and helping believers fulfill their calling in Christ. It was launched in January of 2002 by the Rev. Rick Hutchison to serve as an umbrella organization for the evangelistic and missionary ministries to which he felt called. He serves as President and Executive Director of the ministry. The organization is named in honor of the believer who brought Saul of Tarsus from virtual obscurity to prominent ministry, helping him become Paul, the Apostle to the Gentiles. Barnabas’ name means literally ‘son of consolation.’ He was a great Encourager who saw others’ potential, was a mentor and helper to many, and devoted himself to helping others succeed for Christ. Like Barnabas of old, we seek to serve Christ by serving others and helping many to achieve their full potential in Christ. |
