Taking our mandate from God's Word
“...as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” – Galatians 6:10
Our statement of faithWe work with churches and local Christian ministries on the ground in some of the world's hardest contexts through projects they have developed and are running we can meet their physical, emotional, or spiritual needs.
“We were praying God to send angels to help. Our prayers brought results and God sent Barnabas to feed us.”
– Mr Thako, a poor Christian farmer in Pakistan, whose crops were wiped out by locusts
Abide by Biblical teaching in our approach and conduct.
Treat people of all faiths with love, respect and compassion, including persecutors.
Strive to be good stewards of God's resources, keeping our overheads low.
Seek to uphold the truth and be transparent in all that we say and do.
When we look at this verse in Galatians, we can see that Paul calls on believers to help all people, but especially our own Christian brothers and sisters. There are lots of excellent Christian organisations around the world that do good to all people in difficult or dangerous situations. But at Barnabas Aid we believe our calling is to help especially the family of believers.
