Based in Southwest Missouri, Barnabas Foundation Inc., is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to providing life-changing Christ-centered experiences to all individuals with special needs and chronic illnesses. Our mission is to change lives through disability ministry. Over the past 24 years, we’ve served more than 75,000 campers, missionaries, students, and fellows. We exist to offer opportunities to all individuals, regardless of their disability or diagnosis, and to the people who serve them by providing social experiences that increase spiritual knowledge, social learning and human dignity. Campers and students are encouraged to try new things. They are reminded that they are wonderfully and perfectly created. More often than not, the individuals we serve live in a world that tells them no and limits their potential. We are an organization that says “yes” and reminds those who we serve that they can live a life of purpose. The Barnabas experience changes perspectives and redefines disability.
