Barnabas - #1 A Generous Member - the importance of financial support.(Steve Mansfield)

Description: Barnabas was instrumental in ensuring Saul of Tarsus was accepted by the Apostles at Jerusalem after his conversion on the road to Damascus. Although a Levite, jointly with the re-named Apostle Paul, he first took the Gospel to the Gentiles in arduous and sometimes dangerous missionary work. "He was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith", wholeheartedly committed to and very generous in his support of the Truth at a crucial time in the establishment of the early ecclesia.
