Supporter Resources

We have collected together in one place articles and resources which will be useful to anyone seeking to present Barnabas Fund and its work to their church - in person or via the web. We thank God for the hard work and active support so many have given over the years. Barnabas Fund could not achieve all that it does if it were not for the generosity of its supporters, in terms of time, prayer and gifts, and by the grace of God. We hope that this page will make it a little bit easier to find the resources needed to continue to be active on behalf of the persecuted church around the world.

These include videos showing the suffering of the Church in a variety of countries and some of the projects which Barnabas Fund supports to bring hope and aid to our brothers and sisters. There are also some talks and interviews given at different times by Dr Patrick Sookhdeo - Barnabas International Director (most of these are audio only).

Suffering Church Sunday

Every year we also produce a variety of resources for Suffering Church Sunday, to help congregations focus their worship on the persecuted Church.

There are testimonies, sermon outlines, PowerPoint presentations, activity suggestions (including drama scripts and material for children), songs and videos.
