Barnabas in Churches

Articles

Here you will find a range of articles that cover both issues of relevance and importance to children's work in general, and also reflect something of the nature of BRF's own Barnabas children's ministry.

Each month we post a new feature article, exploring an aspect of children's ministry with the under 11s. Our Barnabas team also post regular reports on most of the events that they lead or contribute to - find out how they got on and get a taste of what our Barnabas face-to-face ministry is all about.
