About Barnabas Aid from their website
The main ministry of Barnabas Aid is to send financial support to projects which help Christians where they suffer discrimination, oppression and persecution as a consequence of their faith. The projects aim to strengthen Christian individuals, churches and their communities by providing material and spiritual support in response to needs identified by local Christian leaders. Barnabas Aid has also started food gives, aiming to provide material aid such as food & medical supplies to suffering Christians, where financial aid may not be possible or practical. It also provides supporters an opportunity to get involved with our ministry more actively.
