Hope and aid for suffering Christians

Barnabas Aid is an international Christian ministry that provides hope and practical support to suffering and persecuted Christians.

Since 1993 we have worked in some of the most hostile and challenging contexts to help those who are targeted by violent extremists or endure significant hardship in their communities. These Christians are overlooked, under-served, and desperately need aid.

Why does Barnabas Aid exist?
Barnabas Aid is an international Christian ministry that provides hope and practical support to suffering and persecuted Christians.

“... as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”

Galatians 6:10
