When he [Barnabus] arrived and saw the evidence of the grace of God, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.

Acts 11:23 (NIV)

Encouragement goes a long way! Barnabus means “son of encouragement.” He was always encouraging others in their faith. We have all faced difficult times in our lives, and we have all needed the encouragement of a friend, if not, we may have not made it this far. Be a “Barnabus” today; encourage someone to continue to fight the good fight of faith!
