INVEST: Barnabas Program

Dear Barnabas Supporters,

Life Connections launched The Barnabas Program in 2013 to provide scholarships to clients who want the quality of Christian counseling we offer, but are not able to afford it.

Investors and supporters like you have helped us provide Barnabas scholarships to over 345 Florida households to date.

In 2025, we received nearly $24,000 donated from the local Christian community. In 2026, we have received approximately $1970.00 to date.

Barnabas clients participate with “skin in the game” with a $40 co-pay each session and up to 20 sessions per household.

We are grateful for your donation as part of helping us change lives by connecting emotional and relational health to spiritual maturity.

Life Connections is recognized by the IRS as a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable organization (EIN: 59-3203749). Please consult your tax professional. May God continue to bless you and guide you!

We want to see lives changed through Christian counseling. Our Barnabas Program provides the ability to serve those who otherwise could not afford counseling.

Each clinical staff member often works with clients to help make counseling affordable. We contribute approximately $275,000 worth of services to the community each year. Since our opening in 1993, we have donated services worth over 3 million dollars. But we need your help.

Your donation to our Barnabas Program will go directly to help clients in financial need receive counseling. Your partnership with us helps change lives through Christian counseling.

After leaving an abusive situation: “I have been at my job for almost a year. I’m still staying with my sister and looking for my own place. I can’t thank you enough for all of your help and prayers. I’ll never be able to repay you, but please know that I appreciate you. May God continue to bless you, your family, and your practice.”
