Barnabas 1040 is a dedicated organization focused on empowering Independent Baptist Churches within the 10/40 Window, a region recognized for having the least opportunity to hear the Gospel. Founded under the authority of Liberty Baptist Church in Newport Beach, California, Barnabas 1040 operates on the belief that effective missions require a partnership between traditional missionaries and indigenous pastors. The organization supports short-term funding for church planting initiatives, enabling national pastors to reach their communities rather than relying solely on foreign-led efforts.

By training local leaders and providing resources, Barnabas 1040 aims to establish self-sustaining, self-governing churches that can propagate their faith organically. Their mission is particularly critical as the 10/40 Window encompasses two-thirds of the world’s population but is mostly unreached, with less than 4% of Christian missionaries active in the area. Barnabas 1040 invites partnerships to further their church planting projects, emphasizing the importance of collaborative efforts in spreading the Christian message.
