Barnabas Aid began in the early 1990’s in the UK and has existed for the past 30 years with the sole mission of bringing hope to the suffering Christians around the world. Through over 5000 projects, countless lives have been impacted with the food, medical supplies, educational training, small business funding, pastoral leadership development, and so many other ways where Barnabas Aid has had the privilege of being involved.

This engagement is central to the core responsibilities of this position of Networking Coordinator.
