Paul and Maribeth Niager - US Based

Serving as Pastoral Care to Missionaries

When Paul and Maribeth first met, Maribeth had an idea that God might involve them in missions somewhere down their life path together. Paul had spent two years in Nairobi, Kenya, as a short-term missionary, and it was obvious God had planted a seed in his heart for missions.

They lived in Florida for eight years while Paul served at Northside Baptist Church as a counselor. Maribeth had her first-hand exposure to missions when she and Paul accompanied a team on a short-term trip to Honduras.

God, using all these experiences, has now drawn them into a ministry of shepherding and caring for missionaries through Barnabas International. Their primary emphasis for the last eight years is to come alongside missionaries on the front lines for the sake of the Gospel. They work with various mission agencies based in Florida and travel internationally where they see their missionary friends on the field and are able to enter into their world. They are also involved in coming alongside missionaries as they adjust back to life in the United States after having served in various parts of the world.

"And if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God."

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." --Matthew 28: 19,20 NIV
