Testimonials – Barnabas Zentrum

I would heartily recommend The Barnabas Zentrum to any missionary team, couple, or individuals who find themselves “in over their heads”. There is hope in Christ! The staff at Barnabas Zentrum are skilled at helping missionaries see that hope.

We are so thankful for our time with you. Thank you for everything. One thing we really appreciated is your willingness to teach us through your life lessons. Not many people are willing to do that. We learned so much and our prayer is that we can apply it on a regular basis.

Your love, honesty, and transparency created a safe place for me to work through my pain and panic. Your website said that you "minister to those who minister." It is an understatement of the blessing you have given through your leadership, love, and encouragement. My friend told me before I came not to panic and that I would love it! She was right . . . thank you!

Words cannot express our appreciation for all you have done for us. Your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit and loving interaction with us has truly breathed new life into our souls. Because of these past two weeks with you, our marriage, family, ministry, and walk with God will forever be changed. Beginning this journey we were both afraid to even hope that change was possible. Now 12 days later, we are so encouraged and enjoying the promise of a new life together.

I’m so thankful for Barnabas Zentrum. Confidentiality is rare, and their care came at a time I truly needed it. Their presence made it possible for me to stay on the field instead of returning home. Their wisdom, life experience, and shepherding spirit made me feel safe—like I wasn’t just another case. They go the extra mile, and that’s what true biblical counseling looks like.

After 16 years in remote Africa, I wasn’t just burned out—I was wiped out. I arrived at The Barnabas Zentrum full of anxiety and doubt. But through group sessions, personalized counseling, and gentle guidance from the leaders, I found hope, healing, and joy again. For the first time in years, I learned how to rest and even have fun. I now feel hopeful about continuing in ministry. Every mission organization should invest in prevention like this—before burnout takes its toll.
