Barnabas Ministries

Our vision is to see pastors have the opportunity to be part of a John 17:23 pastoral support group and develop authentic spiritual and relational unity.

Welcome to our newest John 17:23 group in Kigoma, Tanzania! Please pray for all 4 of them (one not pictured) as they gather regularly & share their story, pray, engage in Scripture, and update each other--that the unity Jesus prayed for in John 17:23 will be evident through them.

"What a group of confidants! During our John 17:23 group meeting, we had refreshing, recharging, & inspirational moments. For pastors out there; this is the real deal for us. Pastors get inspired, encouraged, & empowered to do ministry together in unity. Glory to God!" -Edward

Prayer is essential, and these pastoral leaders in Malawi know it! Pray for Bishop Samudeni & these pastors as they long for unity and desire to learn about John 17:23 groups so they can start groups in their area. Also, pray for Marko as he encourages & equips Bishop Samudeni.

Hearing from pastors in John 17:23 groups is so encouraging! Today, Pastor Matiki in Malawi shared this picture of his group meeting. Pray with us that God will continue encouraging, inspiring and enabling them for kingdom ministry together as they meet regularly.
