Impact stories

What partnership has looked like.

Strategy · Love Life
★ Ministry of the Year · 2026

An advisory board that's still going strong.

Shon presented at a Barnabas dinner asking for help starting a localized advisory board. Nearly three years on, it has helped hire three new area directors and become a rock of wisdom and prayer.

Strategy · The Lobiko Initiative

Blind spots she couldn't see on her own.

Leading a ministry can feel isolating. Through the Executive Directors Forum and quarterly convenings, Wilita found peer counsel that sharpens strategy and surfaces blind spots — and in three years, Lobiko's reach grew from about 7,000 lives to more than 15,000.

Strategy · Engage to Go Ministries

Counsel that finances alone couldn't buy.

Front-lines festival outreach got more than volunteers — CPAs, attorneys, and business leaders sat with the team, asked hard questions, and helped a new director lead with confidence.

Technology · Guidelines International

Choosing constraints as the ministry scaled.

After its footprint more than doubled, Guidelines worked with Barnabas partners on managing 100+ global initiatives — and left with the wisdom that the biggest danger to growth is complexity.

Leadership · Mission to Children

Staffing for growth, not just openings.

Through the Executive Directors Forum and a one-on-one coaching connection, Byron reframed how he hires — a mindset shift that still guides how Mission to Children builds its team today.

Strategy · Aid The Way

Walking alongside a founder from day one.

When her plans changed and Laura launched Aid The Way from the ground up, Barnabas partners didn't step away — they offered practical guidance, hard questions, and steady encouragement through the uncertain early stages.

Generosity that stops at a check leaves the work undone.
