BARNABAS - THE DISCIPLE WHO LIFTS OTHERS UP
Barnabas is often overshadowed by Paul, yet his ministry of encouragement, generosity, and advocacy shaped the early church in profound ways. Discipleship is not only about personal growth—it is about strengthening others. Barnabas reminds us that following Jesus means using our lives to build up the faith, calling, and mission of those around us.
