How to Be a Barnabas

How to Be a Barnabas  will help you develop discipleship skills through studying the life of Barnabas who was called the “Son of Encouragement.”  It will equip you to be an encourager, appropriately helping the wounded people to move forward in a deeper relationship with God, the only one who can heal them and meet all of their needs.

How to Be a Barnabas Complete Training Course includes a four DVD set taught by Dr. Alaine Pakkala with eight 1-hour training sessions, a Training Manual and a Discipleship Manual.

How to Be a Barnabas  is designed as a stand-alone leaders’ curriculum suitable for training ministry leaders, small group leaders, prayer partners, Bible study leaders and friends or family walking with a hurting person. How to Be a Barnabas  is recommended as a prerequisite for training leaders who will participate in the R&R (Renewing and Rebuilding) Discipleship Program, usually offered in a church setting.
