About

Barnabas Fund Australia is an international aid organization dedicated to providing hope and practical aid to the persecuted Church globally. They support Christians facing discrimination, oppression, and hardship due to their faith, while also advocating for religious freedom and human rights.

Their theory of change involves providing emergency relief, establishing safe havens and educational opportunities, and actively championing religious freedom and human rights for persecuted Christians.
