The Miracle of Tigania
THE MIRACLE OF TIGANIA!
I stood in worship… hands outstretched, thoughts running through my mind and tears running down my cheeks. I was part of a miracle! Here I was in central Kenya 45 minutes north of Meru Town in the village area called Tigania. Nearby was Mt. Kenya, the second highest mountain on the continent, with its craggy peaks reaching over 17,000 feet into the African sky. I had been here seven years before. That was the beginning of the miracle. Here is the story… In 2004, I had been part of a ministry team conducting a three-day Operation Barnabas conference in Meru for the purpose of encouraging indigenous pastors. The coordinator...

Pastors
Operation Barnabas International (OBI) is the arm of ANM that is dedicated to a two fold task. The first task being “Refreshing tired feet.” This aspect is to help with the encouraging of our overseas brethren. Secondly, our task is “fitting them with sandals.” This means helping our partners meet new “friends” who will advocate in prayer and financially support for them in the future. These are accomplished, primarily, by bringing teams of 3-5 pastors/teachers from the U.S. overseas for two weeks to conduct two conferences. We speak at 3-3 ½ day conferences and then visit the actual ministries who serve among the often overwhelmed and underserved. OBI also seeks to maintain ongoing encouragement of our native missionaries through Ministry Mates Matter, a ministry dedicated to encouraging the wives of our ministry partners, monthly resources sent to partners to encourage them in the work, research of potential new partners among unreached people groups, etc. staff
Jerry Harding - CoDirector, Operation Barnabas International (OBI) Jerry Harding is noted as a dynamic speaker and a powerfully anointed minister of the Gospel. resources
