Arctic Barnabas Ministries

Arctic Barnabas Ministries is a non-profit ministry support system. It helps pastors and missionary families in remote Alaska. The ministry is based in Kenai, Alaska, at 135 North Willow Street. It is a 501(c)(3) organization and is accredited by ECFA.

The site says the ministry supports work in roughly 200 remote villages. It lists more than 600 projects that help sustain pastors and missionaries. It also lists more than 500 volunteers and more than 100 retreats. The retreats give pastors time to rest and connect with others.

The ministry describes five areas of work. The first is Shepherd, which covers trusting relationships and care. The second is Serve, which covers practical help for families and ministries. Refresh covers rest and renewal. Equip covers learning and growth. Connect covers partnerships that help the work last.

The site says three quarters of Alaska has no road system. It says ministry work needs support systems because of this. The ministry has staff with roles that include Director of Aviation and pilot and maintenance work. The site also lists a Director of Admin and Finance and a Director of Ministry and IT.

The ministry partners with the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank. The site says food help is available on request. The ministry says it does not discriminate in its service to anyone.

People can pray for ministry families, give, or volunteer. The site has a newsletter, a Donate page, and a Homer House giving page. The main phone number is (907) 283-3377.
