In the early New Testament church, God used a man who was nicknamed "the son of encouragement" to become a mentor to the Apostle Paul as well as the author of the book of Mark, John Mark. Barnabas was an encourager and as such was able to see the potential in the people around him and encourage them to achieve it. We all need to learn to become better encouragers. This message covers several keys to doing that.
