One of the important realities in movements around the world is that the vast majority of movements are started by cultural insiders as opposed to outsiders that directly share and multiply. This means that outsiders have a strategic role in catalyzing movements, which we call ‘Being Barnabas.’
‘Be Barnabas’ is what we call the role of the outsider in finding, equipping, and empowering a national apostolic visionary who is a cultural insider to catalyze movements.
We’ve written a number of posts about this Be Barnabas concept to help people understand the biblical background, learn how to get started, and some posts that go into further depth about finding apostolic partners.
